Hello, dear forum users.
Crashing Waves, one of the Hexes available for Shamans with Wave spirit, states:
"Crashing Waves (Su): The force of a waves shaman's water spells can bring even the mightiest of foes to the ground. When the shaman casts a spell with the water descriptor, she does so at 1 caster level higher. If that spell deals damage, the target must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw or be knocked prone. At 8th level, the shaman casts water spells at 2 caster levels higher. At 16th level, her ability to knock creatures prone extends to any spell that deals damage."
Problem is, I cannot find a lot of spells that has [Water] descriptor AND deals damage to target. In fact, I've only found one - Snowball (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/snowball), and unfortunately Shamans cannot cast it without Arcane Enlightenment. Is there any other spells that has [Water] descriptor and deals damage you know of? My search-fu is weak and cannot really find anything. Cleric/Oracle or Wizard/Sorcerer spell is fine too, since there are some ways for Shamans to add it to spellist.
You can use this to search for specific descriptors, sources, spell lists, subschools, domains, duration, components, anything.
Aqueous orb deals 2d6 nonlethal damage with a reflex save to negate. Not great, it's mostly used for the rider rather than the damage.
Flurry of Snowballs does 4d6 in a 30-foot cone.
Vortex, while 7th level, does damage and is the only one so far actually on the shaman list.
River Whip is arguable. The spell doesn't technically do damage, the weapon it makes does. Still not shaman.
Geyser is the last one I can find.
I only know of sorcerer/wizard spells, but let see what I can recall of those...
Aqueous orb is a 3rd level spell that deals non-lethal but that is a lot of fun. My party recently combined it with a blade barrier for a very satisfying episode of "will it blend?"
Tidal wave is a 3rd party 6th level spell that is essentially Aqueous orb's big brother.
Geyser is something I haven't tried personally, but it might be useful. 5th level spell for the sorc/wizards.
Another third party spell is Crushing pressure, 3rd level and not one that I've tried... yet. Looking forward to it though.
You could always give the aquatic sorcerer bloodline or maybe water related domains a look for spell ideas amongst their listed ones.

Advanced Spell Search function looks amazing. Did not know it exists. Many thanks.
