Water, it is everywhere, from the air we breath, to the water inside us. A Hydrokineticist realizes this, and quickly learns to manipulate that water to a great extent. Often regarded as as cold as the Ice and water they work with, the members of this prestige class take pride in their mastery of Ice, and eventually water.
