The Lake Lord narrows its eyes in concentration, and the borders of its liquid body begin to shift and shimmer while Brooke holds up a colander for it to see. After activation, the Lake Lord looks the same, but can maintain its form as it passes through anything that water could pass through.
The Lake Lord, indeed, is made of water. It's force of will is what allows it to create a semi-physical form, and maintaining that will becomes second nature. It takes time to lower those barriers to the self, allowing itself to diffuse itself and return to it's primordial form of water.
The colander looks out of place, but is actually the method by which Brooke coaches the Lake Lord through the process of loosening it's form. Just like the colander allows water to pass through while remaining it's own object, the Lake Lord can allow things to pass into and out of itself without compromising its own identity.
Exert your Mind and spend one minute. This Effect cannot be used unless this power is being used by the Lake Lord itself. You must actively and obviously use a colander to activate this Effect.
