	Water lore has very little in the way of discreet breakpoints~~. Five ranks unlocks the ability to store mana for [[925\|Enchant Item]], an important benefit for minimal investment~~. 30 ranks will allow the use of [[1710\|Major Acid]] with 904 and 50 ranks will provide the ability to set an anchor for your familiar and have an automatic [[410\|Elemental Wave]] when you cast [[550\|Time Stop]]. While interesting these benefits are not build defining.

While interesting these benefits are not build defining.

	The largest benefit of water lore is its diversity. Water lore provides bonuses to the DFs for a startling number of bolts. This includes 901, 903, 904, 907, 910, 1707, 1709, and 1710. It also lends itself to a variety of modes for 518. This combines with the utility aspects to make water lore an interesting lore for a generalist wizard.
