Azure mages not granting waterbreathing?

[thejeff]

I would like to see the water-breathing ability given to more water mages. Ideally it should go to those who are thematically water mages, not cold mages. Especially to the various independent water mages.
That would return some of the flexibility needed to fight water nations, especially for the AI.

Failing that I'd really like the descriptions changed so it doesn't claim to grant the ability when the mage doesn't have.

I am correct in thinking that some water mages still can, right?
