I believe it to be an amazing element. It can be serene and calm, like a pond or lake, and yet can have great strength and ferocity, like rapids and rivers, but even still it can be overwhelmingly powerful, like an ocean, all the while keeping it's enigmatic, dancing, blue beauty. It is an important part of nature that fuels most all things that are natural. It is incredibly versatile, and this is why it is one of my favorite elements.
Water is the element of life - all things need water. It can be gentle or powerful - in terms of the world, nothing can stand up to the power of water, except possible land. In relation to the elemental circle, Water is weak against Earth, and strong against Fire.
