Kinda reminds me of ideas I had along the same lines in a thread I created about non-magical ways to defeat a sorcerer (which went for a page or so before being taken over by the hack-and-slash crowd...grrrrr...).Water is a natural purifier, which explains its use in baptisms to cleanse a newborn baby of sin, and it's also known as the "element which gives life." Undead, like vampires and zombies, are the very definition of "unclean" and are an affront to life itself. So it follows that undead cannot be near any natural body of water, like a river or a lake. And if it happens to rain while they're out terrorizing the countryside, they will suffer. Badly. And buddy, if you think regular water's bad enough, holy water's even worse. They can't be near it even in a man-made container, which makes it great for warding off the undead. And as a weapon against the undead, there's nothing better other than fire and sunlight.And on the magic column...Water also counters fire, which makes it a big help in dealing with those sorcerers that like to use fire. Maybe dousing a firemage in water will nullify his powers until he's all dried out.Better still, maybe using fire-magic uses up the water in your system, meaning you have to drink more water to replace the water you used up, and if you use fire-magic for too long without a good drink of water, you will die of thirst...</blockquote>
