Oracle Text

As an additional cost to cast this spell, {X}. (While paying a cost, you can tap your artifacts and creatures to help. Each one pays for {1}.)

Tap up to X target creatures, then distribute three stun counters among any number of tapped creatures your opponents control. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)

If all targets of Crashing Wave become illegal before it resolves, the spell will not resolve at all and you will not distribute any stun counters, even if the opponent still controls some tapped creatures.

If an artifact or creature you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell or activating an ability with waterbend will result in the artifact or creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for waterbend. Similarly, if you sacrifice an artifact or creature to activate a mana ability to pay a cost with waterbend, that artifact or creature won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for waterbend.

You can tap any untapped creature or artifact you control to pay a waterbend cost, even one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
