How to learn

This spell is a variation of:
 Water Whip

Notes

• Along with  Fangs of the Fire Snake (which uses an unarmed attack roll), this is the only other Way of Four Elements abilities that scales with Strength or Dexterity rather than Wisdom.
• Since this uses weapon action DC, Heightened Manoeuvre from the Gauntlets of the Warmaster will apply. Conversely, bonuses to spell save DC such as Lay Bare Their Weakness from the Hat of Uninhibited Kushigo will not apply.

Bugs

• Pulling a target off of a ledge with this spell cannot cause fall damage since it is missing the AddFallDamageOnLand flag.
• The combat log will incorrectly show the DC calculation as the base DC + Wisdom modifier + proficiency bonus, but the resulting DC will still be based on the higher of the character's Dexterity or Strength modifier.
