This crystal orb is filled with water and has no visible opening but is covered in magic runes. If you learn the proper command word from the runes you can speak the command word to allow the water to permeate the orb and create one of two effects.

• The water coalesces around you like a coating of mucus. You are able to breathe as normal but are completely covered with 1 inch barrier of magical water for 1 minute. Fire is unable to pass through the barrier but all other effects and objects are. While the barrier is active you are considered immune to fire damage.
• The water forms a 20 foot square wall that is 1 inch thick, oriented as you choose. This wall remains for 1 minute and fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. In addition, beings from the plane of fire must make a DC 18 Constitution check to pass through the wall.

When the effect ends the water falls to the ground and loses all magical properties. The orb refills each day at dawn or if it is on the plane of water it refills after 1 hour.

Within this fist sized vial is a bright aquamarine water, clear as crystal, that refracts light that passes through it. When poured out onto the ground it reaches from the ground to form tentacles that whip into a Large four legged creature. This creature has the body of a horse but at the end of its graceful neck is the head of a sea creature. It is the same color as the water within the vial but is mostly opaque, with a dark mane. It is equipped with a saddle, bit, and bridle, especially made for its physique out of white leather. Any of this equipment dissolves into a puddle of water if carried more than 10 feet from the steed.

The steed will remain for the next 10 hours before slowly dissolving into a puddle over the course of 1 minute, allowing the rider to dismount. However it will abruptly convulse into a mist if it takes any fire damage, is reduced to 0 hit points, or enters into an environment of extreme cold or extreme heat.

The steed uses the statistics for a warhorse, except it has a speed of 80 feet, and a swimming speed of 40 feet. You can ride it as any other well trained mount and it will do its best to avoid taking damage until you give it a command. When the steed is destroyed or reaches the end of its time it returns to the vial if it is open and will not form again for 1d4 days. If the vial is not open it will wait until the next dawn to attempt to return to the bottle before permanently leaving for the plane of water.
