Against immovable objects this stream instead allows you to make a Strength check to destroy the target. When attempting to break an object, the stream has an effective Strength equal to your caster level plus the ability score modifier as above. The Break DC depends on the object you’re trying to break—see Breaking Items.
Hydraulic torrent extinguishes any normal fires it encounters along its path. Magical fires are unaffected.
Mythic variant: The water is boiling hot or freezing cold, dealing 1d6 points of fire or cold damage per 2 caster levels. Add your tier to your CMB for the spell and on the Strength check to destroy immovable targets.
Augmented (3rd): If you expend two uses of mythic power, the spell can extinguish magical fires as if using a targeted dispel magic. Freezing cold water hardens into ice on the ground (Core Rulebook 442), lasting as long as prevailing conditions allow. Boiling hot water turns into steam, creating an area of concealing mist (equivalent to obscuring mist) that fills the affected squares and all squares adjacent to the line of the spell.
