the blockage so the water can flow back into the grate. You’re only seeing the top of the grate,” Raoul says, pointing to it, “which is about a foot above the water, but it leads down ten feet, and it’s completely blocked.”

“Why not just remove the grate?” I ask him curiously.

“They’ve tried. It’s built into the wall, so it can’t be removed without destroying the wall. Which would cost more to repair than having a mage come from the other cities.”

“Right,” I tell him. Moving closer to the railing, I put my hands down on it and look at the issue. So, let’s see what I can do. Since I am supposed to be a Water mage, I call up water in my palm, Water, and I throw my globe out over the filthy water. Water Sword. Three swords made of water appear, hovering in midair. I then focus and throw the blades as hard as I can against the blockage above the water.

Water Sword Spell used. 10 points of power used.

With an explosion of water, the Water Sword smashes against it and explodes away. So much for that. It hasn’t even made a scratch on it.

“Everyone tries that first,” Raoul says with a small laugh and a grin. “Had one mage who kept throwing Fire Swords at it, and all he was doing was heating up the shit, causing the smell to be worse. They finally had to tell him to stop since it was getting so bad.”

So, brute force won’t work, is what Raoul is saying. Calling up Water again, I throw another globe of water across over the railing and send it closer to whatever is blocking the water.

“Do we know what the stuff that is blocking the grate is made of?” I ask Raoul.

Raoul shakes his head and says, “No. Even our Earth mages are unsure if it’s rock material. Nothing seems to penetrate it.”

Interesting. Let’s see, how would they go about it on Earth? I mean, TNT would be awesome right about now, but that would probably blow the whole thing, including part of the wall and the street next to it, into smithereens. What about a hammer?

Water Hammer. The water globe shapes itself into a large hammer’s head. With my thought, I send it smashing into the thing, hitting part of the water as well. But instead of the results I expected, water gets splashed out to a radius of ten feet.

Water Hammer Spell used. 10 points of power used.

Well, that didn’t work. Ten points for Water Hammer? Good to know. I guess that would be considered brute force as well. What else would Earth people try? Well, it’s a big rock. What about drilling? Based on the size of it, drilling a single hole won’t do much. But what if I drill a ton of holes and then force water into them? Would that cause it to crack?

Water Drill, I think, and immediately there is a four foot long corkscrew-type thing floating in the air. I move it so that it’s over the rock, and I make it spin quicker and quicker. Then, I slowly push it against the item blocking the grate.

Water Drill Spell used. 10 points of power used.

I can see smoke forming under the drill bit. Remembering that back home they would use water to cool it down, I lift my other hand and think Water and throw that globe over to the drill bit, and then think Water Spout. The Water Spout grabs water from the canal and begins to stream it into the hole that I am drilling. It’s working!

Then the noise starts. First, I hear the squeal of the drill bit, and then whatever that thing is begins to groan. Within seconds, I see that the drill bit has gone more than halfway into the pile, is about two feet of its four feet thickness. I bring the drill bit out of the hole and direct it to another location, above the waterline, and start to drill again, using Water Spout to keep the area the drill bit is working in, wet.

After the fifth hole, the Water Drill spell disappears in a burst of water, and I have to call up another one. Same with the Water Spout. Good to know. My spells won’t stay forever. Though I don’t know if they last a set time, or does it have to do with how much power or force they use? For the next hour, I keep adding drill holes. Once I start underwater though, I don’t need Water Spout anymore since there is tons of water everywhere. That makes it easier, as I don’t need to control two spells. However, it’s also harder in a way as I can’t see under all that shitty water, so I have to hope that the spell knows where to go or what needs to be done.

Finally, after a good hour and a half, I am done. Or at least I feel I am finished drilling the holes. I look over and see Raoul looking at my handiwork in amazement.

“How can you have so much power!” he tells me when he sees I have stopped and am looking around.

“Oh, I am not even done yet,” I tell him with a small laugh.

For what I want to do now, I will need a lot of water. Holding both my hands over the railing, I think Water and throw both globes towards the metal grate. Then, I think of the spell I want to use. I had put some thought into this, but I couldn’t think of a fucking name for it, so I hope this works. Water going into the holes and expanding three times its original form.

You have used a Spell command. You have used 1,000 points of power.

What the fuck? One thousand points of power using a command? As I watch, the globes of water split off into multiple streams, going into
