Those who form a bond with amphibians gain a deep connection to water in all its forms. The link awakens magical control over moisture, streams, and rainfall, allowing the caster to shape, summon, and manipulate water with precision and power. As the bond strengthens, the amphibian companion grows in intelligence, aiding the caster with instinctive understanding of aquatic environments.
