I really love the 3 x 3 area of the spell it really feels perfect now Tyvm for doing that change it has been noticed.
An unintended side effect of the spell is that it now destroys objects on the map though if they are in the 3 x 3 area. this will destroy notable locations, quest huts and resources on the map (for example mines, wild horses etc)
If you have units in the 3x3 area they get kicked over one or two squares in a random direction in order to be outside of the 3x3 area since the spell won't bury them them.
On a test of the lower water spell, it can't be used to kill and enemy unit, it just makes them jump over one or two squares to be on the edge of the affected area. Pretty sure it would kill a resource node. Not sure if you want to use this spell to kill an enemy unit, might be neat to have a version of the spell that DOES kill enemy units (perhaps a "swamp" spell that opens up the ground temporarily)
i blame the game populous for the water testing
