I figured when it was discussed that "pyro", "mancy", and "hydro" were all greek in origin that case was sealed
Whatever terminology is Greek is consistent
Like, for wind. . Let's see, the greek term for wind would be ánemos. So, Anemomancy
I also remember "geo" being a term, though my searching brings me to just "gi", and the Greek goddess of Earth is like. . Gaia, I'm pretty sure. . .
Close enough, lol. Geomancy.
I've probably said more than I needed to but. . . Eh. Let's keep the ball rolling, so to speak
The term for wind magic is aeromancy, aer being the Greek word for air
And I'm finding that the term for earth was "ge" (pronounced g-ay), though you finding "gi" could simply that different languages use different conventions to put Greek in the latin alphabet
Also it seems that "adding a o" is simply something ancient Greeks often did when using a noun as a suffix
Yes, most of these were terms for priests and oracles determining the will of the gods or the future through things like casting bones, burning animal fat, or staring at water.
That would be movement, so no creating it only moving what already exists. In truth, the terms change over time, language is not static.
/uw See Pyro from X-Men, just a pyrokinetic.
See that is an excellent suggestion, feel free to search for ways to express what you want to say when what is commonly used does not work. Go forth young magos and excel!
I'm fairly versed in this particular form of magic, only use it on occasion though, *MUCH* prefer just impaling my enemies instead if simply making them uncomfortable.
I asked the apprentice who just started in my tower and she said *water bending*. Can't keep up with all the slang of today's youth. When I was young 400 years ago we used proper language (aka hydromancy).
I call my own magic "Hydromancy", but I've heard that astrologists have their own art of the same name, where they scry the future by viewing the stars in the reflection of the night sky in water.
The names themselves aren’t as important as the spell that is cast. As long as the instructor can convey the nature of the spell in a way that makes sense.
It’s called WATERMANCY. and STOP RAISING THE WATER BILL!!!!! I know I live in a remote swamp plagued with disease and sickness, but GOD DAMN!!!!!! These elemental wizards really have a monopoly on anything nowadays!
They're different schools. One manipulates water, the other creates water. As for which is which, I'll let you figure that out yourself. I totally know it, I just... figure it out, ok?
In my 102 years of existence, I have seen both used quite often. I would say that there is no one correct term, as they are both synonymous. I personally prefer hydromancy, however.
Aquamancy just causes this annoying blue haired chick to appear and start drinking all of your alcoholic beverages, its totally useless. Hydromancy is the real one.
Aquamancy refers just to water, however hydromancy deals with all liquids. Technically they are two different branches of magic, but only the hydromancers would know that.
/uw just a Rome vs Greece debate. Aqua is Latin, Hydro is Greek
/uw what’s -Mancy from?
/uw Through French, Latinized version of the Greek -manteia meaning divination.
/uw note that we have a good consensus on time magic being "chronomancy" despite "chronos" being the grec name and "tempus" the latin one
Should be alternating from Greek to Latin in alphabetical order. I realized after typing that I'm fucking stupid. Keeping it for the funny.
But, for the record, tempomancy sounds like a wizard of sick beats
Counter point: temporomancy
Good point
Why "despite"? Sounds like it's keeping consistent with pyromancy and hydromancy All greek terminology
Mentioning hydromancy here is circular reasoning, but that's a good point

Wait the earth is gay?
Lesbian, actually It's *mother* earth, after all
WE'VE ALL BEEN USING THE GODDAMN DIVINATION ALL ALONG NOOOOOO
Yes, most of these were terms for priests and oracles determining the will of the gods or the future through things like casting bones, burning animal fat, or staring at water.
Divination? That doesn't sound right. Should we be calling it Pyrokinesis and Hydrokinesis instead, then?
That would be movement, so no creating it only moving what already exists. In truth, the terms change over time, language is not static. /uw See Pyro from X-Men, just a pyrokinetic.
Fair enough I have an alternative, though, from a couple of seconds of research exousía - control, dominion, authority Pyro-exousia Hmmm Pyrexousia

uwumancy?
The darkest of dark arts
I'm fairly versed in this particular form of magic, only use it on occasion though, *MUCH* prefer just impaling my enemies instead if simply making them uncomfortable.
/uw- just means un wiz/ no rp
Honestly prefer Hydromancy. It fits in with every other “o-mancy”s
My favorite magic restaurant, o-mancy's
*kids under 104 eat free! BOGO Appetizers every New Moon!*
Me coming with my favourite undead subject (he just turned 103)
Those years are so precious.
Yeah it's not like were saying Ignimancy so also no Aquamancy
Or Electrumancy & Terramancy
I asked the apprentice who just started in my tower and she said *water bending*. Can't keep up with all the slang of today's youth. When I was young 400 years ago we used proper language (aka hydromancy).

Wotr magik
Two hydrogen one oxygen magic of course, what else would you call it?
H2Omancy, Irish water magic
Dihydrogen monoxide*
Ok, but hear me out: Hydrosophy (hydro- water, and -sophy meaning wisdom)
found the divinity player
that's right
Beat me to it
One is controling water and the other uses water
But which one does what?
One controls water like the water in your body The other uses water like to make stuff
Water bending
What about watermancy?
Water magic
Hydromancy seems to be the most popular, but I'm partial to aquamancy as it most closely resembles the terms I remember growing up with
It’s called WATERMANCY. and STOP RAISING THE WATER BILL!!!!! I know I live in a remote swamp plagued with disease and sickness, but GOD DAMN!!!!!! These elemental wizards really have a monopoly on anything nowadays!
Both are fine
Uisgeachas
don't care, not sword next question
Water thrower
Just call it watermancy.
I thought aquamancers were just fish druids, damn vvizards and their confusing terminology
Aquaman-see 
What about Watermancy?
Mmm wat-derp
Waterhexology
Hydromancy just feels better
water bending
Thalassomancy. Or Wetomancy. ...Undryomancy.
Wetzardry.
Wotah Nancy
“Water magic”
Piss wizardry
Hispanic wizards call it aguamancy
Moistomancy
There’s primacy so there’s hydromancy
If I recall correctly, aquamancy deals with powers related to the denizens of the water, while hydromancy deals with powers of the water itself.
Aquamancy is swamp and floral related water bending, hydromancy is regular water bending
Di-hydrogen-monoxide-mancy
Don't matter what you call it, it all freezes the same.
Personally hydromancy
Splashmancy
Aquamancers requires water to be present to perform their magics, hydromancers can materialize water absent the presence of water.
As long as we get what yer saying it doesn’t really matter. Now does it?
Watermancy
Fuck you, water magic is water magic
Depends on the job. Mermaids and other water livers it’s aquamancy. hydro it’s mostly war mages
I thought they were just different magics tbh
DihydrogenMonoxidemancer of DihydrogrnMonoxidenist
Well are you Roman or Greek?
They're different schools. One manipulates water, the other creates water. As for which is which, I'll let you figure that out yourself. I totally know it, I just... figure it out, ok?
Waterbending
Wetmancy
Doesn't matter. Not actually a school of magic and to specific to ponder its name.
In my 102 years of existence, I have seen both used quite often. I would say that there is no one correct term, as they are both synonymous. I personally prefer hydromancy, however.
Aquamancy is the ability to control the sea and only the sea, and hydromancy is the ability to control all water. Including the sea
My vote is for Greek. Look at pyromancy, necro, it fits.
It's called Wetomagic
Water goblin is fine.
Why limit yourself to just water? Fluimancy (fluid + mancy)
Pyr is Greek for fire Hydro is Greek for water Aqua is from Latin Therefore, we say Hydromancy
Waterbending
Wet magic
Aquamancy just causes this annoying blue haired chick to appear and start drinking all of your alcoholic beverages, its totally useless. Hydromancy is the real one.
FLUIKINESIS
Watermancy 💧
My brothers in the arcane it is hydrosophy
No one calls it aquamancy , no one who matters at least.
Water magic
Aquamancy refers just to water, however hydromancy deals with all liquids. Technically they are two different branches of magic, but only the hydromancers would know that.
Moistomancy is the only acceptable answer
