[[Water magic]] animates the water elemental. These  creatures  are  immune  to  [[Mind spell|mind]], [[ice bolt]], and [[frost ring]] [[spells]], but take double damage  from  [[fire wall]], [[Inferno (spell)|inferno]], [[fireball]], and [[fire shield]] [[spell]]s. Because their form is more solid, ice elementals have the ability to throw deadly ice tridents. Additionally, they  have  the  ability  to  cast  the spell [[Protection from Water]].

{{user commentary|
Water Elementals should be promoted to Ice Elementals as soon as possible, since their basic version cannot shoot and is very slow. However, your main shooting force might be [[Air Elemental and Storm Elemental|Storm Elementals]], as they have higher possible damage and are significantly faster than Ice Elementals, having speed 8 which is excellent for a ranged unit. Storm and Ice Elementals have similar stats. As Ice Elementals have significant damage range, boost them with [[Bless]], and when playing against them, cast [[Curse]] on these units.

[Hide user commentary]
Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Water Elementals should be promoted to Ice Elementals as soon as possible, since their basic version cannot shoot and is very slow. However, your main shooting force might be Storm Elementals, as they have higher possible damage and are significantly faster than Ice Elementals, having speed 8 which is excellent for a ranged unit. Storm and Ice Elementals have similar stats. As Ice Elementals have significant damage range, boost them with Bless, and when playing against them, cast Curse on these units.
