This art is exclusive to waterlacers. Moon style waterlacing focuses less on direct combat than many other lacing styles, instead focusing on reacting to what others do. The moon is the original waterlacer, pushing and pulling the tides. A moon style waterlacer attempts to emulate the moon, pushing the enemies down, and pulling allies up to achieve victory.

Push and Pull

Beginning when you choose this style at 3rd level, you can spend 2 ki points as a reaction when you or an ally within 5 feet are targeted with a melee weapon attack. The attacking creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal to your Ki Save DC). On a failed save, you choose a target within 5 feet of the attacking creature as the new target of its attack. The creature resolves its attack normally against the new target. You can choose to have the attack target no targets.

Sink and Float

Starting at 6th Level, you have the ability to make two reactions each round. You regain both reactions at the beginning of your turn.

Life and Death

Beginning at the 10th level, any healing you are subject to while in the presence of a natural body of water large enough to completely submerge your body in (such as a river, lake, or sea) is automatically maximized. For example, if you took a short rest and used a d8 Hit Die to heal and had a Constitution of 16, you would regain hit points (1d8 + 3), without needing to roll. The distance from such a location that qualifies you to be in its presence is subject to your DM's discretion, but you should be near enough to the location that you can feel the natural energies of the water flowing through you.

Moon and Ocean

Starting at 14th level, whenever you initiate a form on your turn, you can protect some creatures in the area. To do so, you spend 1 ki point and choose a number of creatures up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one creature). A chosen creature is completely protected from the form and suffers none of its effects.

Eternal Dance

Beginning at 18th level, choose two 1st-level forms and one 2nd-level form that you know. Whenever you initiate these forms, they are automatically initiated one level higher than normal without you needing to spend additional ki points, up to your maximum form level.
