The SendingStone review

Water Walk is a useful spell for outdoor campaigns where water is abundant. However, it has limited utility in other settings. The spell allows designated creatures to walk on water for an hour within a 30-foot range. Although it can be used creatively in certain situations such as crossing rivers or lakes, it can be difficult to find much use in urban or dungeon settings. Additionally, the material component of a piece of cork can be inconvenient to acquire, and the spell's level 3 requirement means it competes with other more powerful spells. Overall, Water Walk is a useful but situational spell.
