NOTES:
| Liquid Ritual is a spell card that buffs Flooding|Inudation and adds a versality to the element of  as well as supporting the already big versality of the element of  . Since a 'sacrifice' of Flooding is needed (of course, Inudation can also be a sacrificial target) instead of a 'targeting', this means you must have a Flooding on your side of the field (a hostile Flooding just can't be targeted by Liquid Ritual spell).
Liquid Mutant is like a mutant created by a Mutation effect, but with the following exceptions:
1) Liquid Mutant is always a creature.
2) The cost of Liquid Mutant's activated ability, if any, is priced in quanta.
3) When created, Liquid Mutant stats have a possible minium of 3 and possible maximum of 10. That means a just summoned Liquid Mutant will be a 3|3 creature at worst and 10|10 creature at best.
Superior Liquid Mutant is like a super mutant created by a Improved Mutation effect, but with the following exceptions:
1) Superior Liquid Mutant is always a creature.
2) The cost of Liquid Mutant's activated ability, if any, is priced in :enrtopy quanta.
3) When created, Superior Liquid Mutant stats have a possible minium of 6 and possible maximum of 12. That means a just summoned Liquid Mutant will be a 6|6 creature at worst and 12|12 creature at best.
LORE:
"I can't trust someone as long as I can't see her face", the Village Chief said.
"You can trust me now then, can't you?" The Liquid Ritualist removed her dark blue hood and revealed her exotic aquatic face.
"I see... I couldn't imagine the Liquid Ritualist is actually a Water Elemental!", the Village Chief responded. "It is so unlikely for a powerful elemental entity to actually care for lowly humans like us. Then, you may actually indeed have a change against the tyrannical Red Queen!".
"Don't forget I won't do this for free. You promised you will let me use your river as a water pillar producing resource. But, first of all, in order to defeat the Red Queen and her army, your villagers must open the floodgates."
"What?!", the village elders who were the audience of this secret meeting were obviously shocked by the Ritualist's suggestion. "But, if we open the floodgates, the water needed for our agriculture won't be enough and, most importantly, the whole village will be flooded! Does this have to do with your water pillar rewarding or something?", the elders replied almost simultaneously...
"It has nothing to do with my reward! Opening the gates is essential for the defeat of the Red Queen! The river will bring water from the mountains and the artificial lake will be filled once again, but once that tyrannical woman is dead she will never come back!", the female elemental replied with an angry voice, hitting the table with her palm.
For a whole minute no one was talking; only staring. Until the Village Chief broke the silence:
"So be it! We will put the plan into motion as soon as possible. We should start the village abandonment tonight and the strongest men are going to come with me to the floodgates. The Red Queen awaits to collect her tribute tomorrow night, but in the end she will receive only payback for all our suffering these years!", the whole audience applauded him...
"Where is my tribute, you foolish mortals? Except if you wish to feel the wrath of a Red Nymph!", the Red Queen said in a demanding voice to the villagers lying on ground, after being seriously burnt by her fiery minions.
"Your cruelty will end tonight, Red prostitude!", said a young villager with all his remaining strength only to be turned into ash by her ragepot flames. A fellow farmer managed to stand up and attacked the Queen with a Dagger, but it was easily blocked by her Tower Shield and easily beheaded via her Fahrenheit.
"Ok, you piece of trash... Minions, burn the village! Turn it into a big pile of ash with flames who will make this night bright like a day!"
Red Queen's army fully occupied the recently abandoned village, starting to brurning it down. But this proud show of power will be proven her greatest fault as soon as the floodgates open and the running mass of water covers the village's streets and alleys, dragging the fiery army down into a liquid damnation. Only the higher place where a surpised and shocked Red Nymph stood stayed dry and she was the only to survive, along with other 4 Lava Golems who served as her elite guard.
"Have you brough the vials I've asked for?", an impatient girl dressed in blue robes asked the Village Chief while beholding the full moon that appears behind the clouds of a night sky; a full moon was really helpful tonigh, since it had slighly risen the water level, making the flooding attempt much more reliable to succeed. Furthermore, a full moon enhances the power of the spell the young elemental was going to perform...
"Here they are. Please put an end to her tyra...", the Ritualist jumped into the strong current of the flood before the Village Chief even managing to finidh his words. By swimming into the hostlie waters with an ease only a water elemental could handle, she appears in front of the Red Queen.
"So, you must be the Liquid Ritualist the villagers told me about. They also told me you will end my life; the pitiful words of pitiful existents right before they die!", the Red Queen talked with her well-known arrogance. "And how exactly are YOU going to kill ME?"
"But I am not going to kill you.", the Liquid Ritualist replied with confidence. "THESE are going to kill you...", and by the time she said these words and placed the three vials she recieved later, the whole water of the flooded area started to moving and filling in these vials. As the village elders said later, it was very impressive to stare at the way such a great mass of water was magically able to fill in such tiny little empty bottles, completely drying out the surrounding flooded area, and then smashing these bottles into little pieces in order to forge three magnificent entities. The first entity was a Squid able to move on the ground as easily as it could swim in the water; the second one was a Crawler, one of those who lurk in the deep abyss of the ocean, finally, the third one was a Toadfish that floated on thin air instead of floating on the surface of the sea.
"What a joke! Are these lowly critters going to be my demise? I don't think so. Lava Golems, attack!", the Red Queen shouted to her elite guards, only to see them being destroyed by a repeated strike of Liquid Ritualist's Ice Bolts...
"Damn you! But still, you must be all out of water quanta right now. After slaying your silly pets, you are next, Luqid Ritualist!"
"Indeed I am low on quanta, but dealing with my three creatures it not as easy as you may think...", a calm reply coming from the water elemental.
"Just the nonsensical words of a little aquatic girl who is going to perish in the next minute, hahahahaha!", the Red Queen says mockingly while delivering a slash to the poor Arctic Squid... or not...
By the time she was going to deliver her strike, she noticed her Fahrenheit was missing... holded by one of the Squid's tentacles. Did the Squid had just 'stolen' it? But how?
Trying to surpass her shock, the Red Queen tried to ragepot the Blue Crawler... but a tirquoise light appeared and her ability fails. Had she was 'lobotomised' by the Crawler? But how...
"How is this... how is this even possible!? These creatures don't have abilities like these!", shouted the Queen, completely losing her previous calmness.
"You still don't you get it, right? These are not normal creatures of their type. They are... Liquid Mutants! Powerful versions of their lesser cousins, able to use abilities their kind only could dream of!", the Ritualist explained.
Frightened, the Red Queen cowers behind her Tower Shield. Finally, the Toadfish delivers a strike that completely bypass her shield, fatally wounding her. She was already dead when she reached the ground. The tyrannical nymph was no more...
