If, having crossed a desired distance, the recipient desires to submerge themselves, they may do so freely. The individual selects a spot in the water, then jumps or dives into it. This breaks the spell.
Tempests
When walking atop a tumultuous surface, as occurs when the wind is force-4 or greater, characters are liable to stumble, with a 20% reduction to their overall forward momentum for every point of wind force above 3. It is the case that while walking on the surface of a tempestuous sea, characters are sure to be swept off their intended path, or momentarily submerged as a great wave washes over them — despite the spell's protection that ensures the character won't sink. Characters aren't forbidden from crawling over the sea's surface if necessary.
Freezing Water
Walking on water with partial ice and freezing temperatures poses significant challenges for those walking on water. The surface, often slick with thinly-spread ice, can be perilously slippery, causing missteps. The biting cold is not just an environmental nuisance but a genuine hazard. Prolonged exposure can lead to ailments such as frostbite or hypothermia, necessitating protective clothing or magical enchantments for those braving these conditions.
The terrain itself may be unpredictably varied, combining solid ice, unstable slush and cold liquid water. Even though ice may not crack beneath the recipient's feet, the cold often ushers in dense mists or fog, obscuring vision and making navigation a challenging endeavour.
