Clever....It gets better.  The party massed produced this JetSki.It was enviable.... how about slaving a bunch of these decanters together with the same command word. Welcome the HydroFoil..... a water winged jetski boat the size of a small frigateThey are researching a submarine right now......<sigh>They came up with an airship (based on lighter than air) and now they are into generation X of the idea and the freakin' thing is now turning into a slow moving 'lighter than air' aircraft carrier....with griffon riders for aircraft.......<groan> [picture a huge blimp with a wood deck fixed on top of it and using a number of 'bags of wind' for propulsion and several enslaved fire elementals as the powerplant for the lift mechanism.They are designing a goddamn ground tank now.....It was fun at first, but the technological innovation is a serious threat to the status quo, which is why a neighbouring nation is going to war with their city state.So, a warning to the wise.....  give out a Decanter of Endless Water at your peril.....it may be the start of something.....</blockquote>
