Description

Waterbending is seen most as a the cost of activated abilities on permanents. It can also appear as an additional cost or a secondary payment on spells. You must pay N, and for each generic mana in that cost, you may tap an untapped artifact or creature you control rather than pay that mana. This is similar to convoke and improvise, cost-reducing abilities that can only occur on spells.

When a player has activated a waterbend ability, they are "waterbending".
