5) [Stormraven] 20-6-2012(): Water is completely covering the floor. You're going to need a helping hand to clean it up. So of course you conjure one made completely out of the water all over the floor, and it gets to work. Very fitting, that the helping hand you need is made out of the very problem it's meant to resolve.
