-:* '''[[Oceanborne Resilience (sage ability)|Oceanborne Resilience]]: combines an extraordinary affinity for swimming and breath control, making the character a natural master of aquatic movement and endurance. They glide through water with effortless speed and precision, moving in harmony with currents rather than struggling against them. This fluidity doubles their swimming speed when aligned with the flow of the water and allows for precise manoeuvring in turbulent or confined spaces.  The character can remain calm and focused while submerged, holding their breath for up to ten minutes without strain.

-:* '''[[Storm Caller (sage ability)|Storm Caller]]: grants the character an extraordinary ability to interpret the subtle signs of the ocean and sky so that they can sense incoming changes in the weather, such as storms, calm seas, or shifts in wind patterns, up to an hour before they occur, even in the absence of visible signs. This intuition is so precise that they can prepare for sudden squalls or adjust their course to avoid dangerous conditions.

Even under cloudy skies or without stars for guidance, the character knows their direction with uncanny precision.

-:* '''[[Identify Sea Life (sage ability)|Identify Sea Life]]''': knowledge of creatures within the chosen sea life order and the dangers they present.
+:* '''[[Identify Sea Life (sage ability)|Identify Sea Life]]''': grants knowledge of the creatures within a chosen sea life order, enabling them to recognize and understand the behaviours, characteristics and potential dangers of these marine beings. This skill extends to identifying specific species by appearance, size, colouration and movement patterns, even at a distance or under less-than-ideal conditions such as murky water or dim light.  The character can discern whether a creature is likely to attack, flee or remain indifferent, and they know the environmental factors that might influence a creature’s behaviour, such as tides, water temperature or proximity to spawning grounds.
-:* '''[[Predict Emergence (sage ability)|Predict Emergence]]''': foretells the impending appearance of a creature swimming up through the water, about to break the surface.
+:* '''[[Predict Emergence (sage ability)|Predict Emergence]]''': ability to foresee the imminent appearance of a creature swimming up through the water and preparing to break the surface. This skill allows the character to detect subtle signs in the water's movement, light refraction, or other environmental cues, providing them with critical warning moments before the creature becomes visible.  Particularly valuable in combat or tense situations, giving the character and their allies the chance to prepare, react or avoid potential danger.
-:* '''[[Swimming (sage ability)|Swimming]]''': provides the character with the basic ability to swim.
+:* '''[[Swimming (sage ability)|Swimming]]''': grants the character the fundamental ability to navigate through water effectively. This skill allows the character to stay afloat, propel themselves forward, and manoeuvre in calm or moderately turbulent waters. A character with this ability can cross rivers, traverse lakes or swim in coastal seas without undue risk, provided the conditions are not extreme.

-:* '''[[Free-diving (sage ability)|Free-diving]]''': empowers the character with the ability to hold his or her breath, enabling deep dives.
+:* '''[[Free-diving (sage ability)|Free-diving]]''': provides the character with the ability to hold their breath for extended periods, enabling them to perform deep dives and explore underwater environments, including the physical and mental control necessary to conserve oxygen, allowing the character to descend into depths that would otherwise be inaccessible.  Also involves basic techniques to equalise pressure during descent and maintain orientation while submerged. While the duration of a dive is limited by natural endurance, the character is capable of reaching significant depths, depending on their physical conditioning and water conditions.
