Version 0.25: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Conjures a torrent of water that may knock back the target, and creates a pool of shallow water for a short duration.

Primal Wave is a monsters-only spell that causes massive amounts of water to surge into you, dealing significant damage, pushing you around, and turning the terrain beneath and near you to shallow water (if it isn't already). Fortunately, it cannot knock you into deep water, and it deals 40% less damage if your character is either aquatic (merfolk, octopode, barachi, Ice Form) or unbreathing (gray draconian, gargoyle, mummy, vampire, ghoul, Necromutation, Statue Form).

The following enemies cast Primal Wave:

D Bai Suzhen (dragon) (3d30 damage)
E Elemental wellspring (3d27 damage)
m Merfolk aquamancer (3d22 damage)
@ Norris (3d30 damage)

You can produce a primal wave by evoking a phial of floods.
