The point of the powers is not "to get creative and have fun". While that is important, that comes second to balance. If we were just going for creativity and fun, we wouldn't have specific powers or tiered progression. Things are designed like a video game to a point. They are structured to be used a certain way and are only to be used that way. This being said, plenty of the powers can be combined in such ways that they can have a great amount of creative uses. However, this still doesn't change the wording of how the power is to be used. Now, don't get me wrong; there are certainly ways you could use this power and the effects would be defensive as well, but it is not meant to be used that way. For example: if someone was sending some sort of projectile at you and you sent the wave at them, directly in the way of the projectile; then the projectile would likely strike the water. If you also combined the water density passive you could then effectively block the projectile as well as strike the opponent. However, you cannot solely strike the projectile.
