Innate

Fire Warding	Weakens attunement with the Fire tree while increasing the resistance to the Fire tree.
Icy Breath	Increases power and duration of slowing cold effects
Water Attunement	Increases the power of Water skills and resistance to negative Water effects. Attunement is increased by training active Water skills.
Water Magic Specialization	Water Magic Specialization is the devotion of one's self to the school of Water Magic. It increases the power of all Water magic while weakening your power and resistance to the opposing school of Fire. In addition to the attunement gain, the Water Specialization skill will impact each spell slightly in some matter. NOTE: Only one Specialization skill may be trained and one additional skill maintained at any given time or two may be set to maintain. Enabling training for a different specialization skill may set a specialization skill currently set to maintain to unlearn.
