Remote Surge Freezing

Ability: Surge; Torrent.
Activation without waterbottles:
This Is activated by just clicking on the player or mob with surge selected while no source is used in the time. So after the click, if the mob/players has his legs/half submerge in water (meaning the deep of the water body is one block where he is standing), the ability would then come into action: The Water from the side will began rising up from the body of water where the entity is standing in which surrounds the entity, which leaves two block high water circle surronded. To continue entrapping your target, you hold shift, which at the end would create a dome of ice with the entitt trappes inside. As of now, I don't know the exact the dimensions
of the frozen that is made by the torrent and surge, but the dome will be the exact same shape&size and the creation of it should like it is about to make that kind of form , so it should be treated like that. I think I have said everything except for one bonus advantage: This will also work without needing to click the entity, as the alternative will detect if any players in water are at the 180° angle of the direction the player is looking, with the ranged of how far the player can left click on entitues to trigger them. So if you were (as a waterbender) infront of iron bar walls while your enemy is on other side of the wall in the kiddo pool, you would be able to just
freeze him AND others at your 180° angle. You may ask "why we needs it?" ,because i'll of one thing - diversity. Diversity that makes waterbending more interesting to play. It is one of reason we have three options to freeze beings (torrent, phasechange, surge) ,so I say, why not add four options?

I wish you could explain it a little better as while I know how it would look from the gif, I didn't really understand what you were trying to say. But I understand the base idea is just a slowly freezing dome around your opponent, and for that I give my support

Good idea ;D

Quick Summary: (Remotely) Freezing your foes that are atleast submerge 1 block in 1 block tall water. Not necessary needing to click on ,if the following conditions are applied (players and water) which can be detected if you face them in 180° angle.

I'll change the requires of this ability once I found out the size and dimension of the current ice dome.

Did you see how Katara had to move in order to freeze Zuko? A click wouldn't do the trick :/
Limitations.. Thought it would be nice to add concentration process while making this post. It would require to continue with the hold shift after the water raises half through, but I would definally add that to the post with other changes and fix the thread in general because of the mess I made on both things.

Oh gwad, promancer...
Ability: Surge; Torrent.
Alternative/Addon: This Is activated by just clicking on the player or mob with surge selected while no source is used in the time. If you have atleast a bottle in your hand, you'll need to left click witg torrent selected instead.

I think it should be activated by holding sneak, waiting for the ice to form. I know this would come in conflict with Surge, fundamentally, but that is why you should build this into a different move, as Surge already has two uses.

There is no need to make a diffrent move.

Not its own ability, but since you can already select a source with Surge both by clicking and sneaking, that could serve as some conflict.
No, like I sait wouldn't conflict, if you do it how it is told. Left clicking a target without selecting any source wouldn't interfare with surges actions, as nothing happens when do that, so there is some free space for alternative. After left clicking, you can shift on the target, which again wouldn't conflict with the surges actions as you don't have a source for waterbending. For bottles, you'll dothe same thing with torrent ability instead, minus the shift part.

Well, let's see how this works out. Hopefully it can be done
