Oh, and I also like Reflect (works like Air Shield but deflects spells?) and Waterway (which, IMO, should work to/from any coastal or sea province - possibly with a restriction to prevent it becoming the new Dom I Gateway, such as destination must be friendly dominion or under friendly control).

A large area Sailors' Death might be effective too. That'll make your opponents wish they had invested in Antimagic.

A Mass Desiccation might be good too - doesn't affect inanimates but does affect cold immunes.

Also, both Desiccation and Sailors' Death seem to have excessive path requirements for their effect (Desiccation only gradually increases fatigue, Sailors' Death has moderate precision and both are negated by MR and don't affect inanimates). Why not 1 for Desiccation, 2 for Sailors' Death?

Finally, a question for Illwinter - was water magic *intended* to be nearly useless against undead, to represent its opposition to fire magic which is very strong vs. undead? Or is that just a side effect of so many water spells being cold based or not affecting inanimate targets?
