  • It can Swim above or below water (and similar liquids) at a speed of 20 ft per Eldritch Rank every 3 segments.
  • It does not grant its rider any ability to breathe water.
  • The steed cannot attack, though it may be ridden into battle like any mount.
  • It has an AC of 20 and Hitpoints equal to your healing value. If the steed is reduced to 0 Hitpoints it disappears.
  • A single casting of the ritual can create a number of steeds up to [½ Ritual Casting Rank].
