Hydromancy

Where possible, skill lists will try to emulate the shape and flow of the in-game skill tree to ensure optimal readability, however this will not always be possible due to the shapes or interconnectivity possessed by some trees.
[1] Skills which list “Hydromancy” as a prerequisite actually require “Water Magick”.
Additional Notes
- The combination of healing abilities, Purge The Wicked, and Hydromaster make Hydromancy an incredibly attractive choice for any character intending to focus heavily on spellcasting and Intelligence. Characters with Duality or Elemental Nexus will likely want to make Hydromancy one of their chosen trees.
