Locking Waves

Locking Waves (施錠波浪, Sejō Harō) is a unique Water Magic spell.

Description
The user, employing the density and viscosity of water to their advantage, sends out an omnidirectional wave of water from any possible medium, including their own body or a sword. This wave of water spreads the water's density across a large surface, and anything coming into contact with its viscous surface is immediately slowed down considerably. While the power of the spell depends on the user, advanced users demonstrate the capability to do so at a wide range and slow down objects to a point where they seem to have halted entirely. The spell remains so long as the user wishes it to, or for as long as they have magical power.
