#308 electricitiy weapons in water

[Anonymous]

A weapon of electrocution discharging against a monster in water should also affect all adjacent water areas -- electricty conducts in water after all. Would be consistent, cool, and would add distinct advantage and disadvtage to that brand.

Seconded. Theoretically, we could then go for the whole hog: it spreads in water, and loses 1/2 of its power in each step. Might be too cumbersome to worry about, though.

True. But electrocution is cool as is.

Perhaps the effects of the Air spell Static Discharge could be used here, it's nice and quirky/unpredictable, already balanced, and already coded.

And I suspect that the water found in a many-levels deep dungeon probably has impurities already :)

Ice too, and fire would be less effective.
