Sea (province)

The province of sea in the Zakharan view of magic was a group of spells related to the element of water. Dominated by deserts as the Land of Fate was, the magical province took its name from the one place where water was abundant: the seas surrounding the continent, so important for trade and travel. Many of its spells were related to sea-faring.

The four elemental provinces played a very similar role for Zakharan magic-users as the eight (or nine) schools of magic did for Faerûnian ones.

History
Zakharan sages speculated that the province of sea was developed in the Corsair Domains.

Practitioners
Elemental mages in Zakhara specialized exclusively in one province, like sea, while sorcerers took spells from two provinces, shunning the other two. Unlike elementalists, magic-users from the Land of Fate recognized no opposition between sea and flame.

Paths of power
Zakharan practicioners of path magic recognized four paths of power within the province of sea:
 * Sea Children's Road, manipulating water to ease travel and life in general
 * Corsair's Path, containing spells affecting ships and sea travel
 * Mistweaver's Path, using fog, water and ice to distract and attack
 * Road of the Marid, comprising spells to protect one against the elements and affect elemental water creatures
