The Water Magician is based on the light novels written by Tadashi Kubo and published by TO Books. J-Novel Club describes the premise as:

Ryo is delighted to be reincarnated into the fantastical world of Phi, where he thinks he’ll get to live a quiet life learning to use his newfound water magic. Going with the flow here, however, means something very different. Ryo is immediately pitted against the wild lands he winds up in and the slew of deadly monsters that call the remote subcontinent home. You’d think he’d forget about taking it easy when he’s stuck fighting for his life, but lucky for Ryo, he’s naturally optimistic, clever, and blessed with the hidden “Eternal Youth” trait. Twenty years pass in the blink of an eye, and each encounter along the way pushes him one step closer to the pinnacle of human magic. Little does he realize that’s only the opening chapter of his tale. A fateful meeting soon thrusts Ryo to the forefront of history, forever changing the course of his life… Thus begins the adventures of the strongest water magician the world has ever seen—who also likes to do things at his own pace!

The light novels started in 2021, after the 2020 debut of the original Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel. Nokito was the initial illustrator , with the role later passing to Mebaru for a time. The current illustrator is Hana Amano, who is also acknowledged as the light novels’ illustrator in the anime credits. Part 3 Volume 3 of the series will be released on July 15, 2025 JST.

There is also a manga adaptation of The Water Magician.
