I'm really not sure what would work - perhaps Psionic abilities? Cyrokinesis and a spot of Teleport, maybe? (Teleport the water in. Splash. Freeze it . . . ) Limitations on the Teleport Power: Liquids Only? Kinda evil . . .

Mystebrooke was designed for fun, and played for a while in Yrth. I forgot what her early history was - orphan, I think. She got taken in early to the Water-Mages' guild; while she was still an apprentice, some Fire-Mage apprentices came and torched the apprentices' dorm - Essential Fire. Several other apprentices died. (Pyrophobe, pyrophobe . . . )

When she was in play, she was part of the guards for a goblin merchant who dealt in magical and alchemical goods (K'thk'th'pk, aka "Leagues"); the other guard was a combat monster half-elf, and we picked up a 3-way split personality thief-type (one personality had honesty, another was klepto, and the third was Mute!).

Two GMs - one ran everyone through the vampire-giant plot in Fantasy Adventures (we got accosted by thugs - Leagues kept them talking while Mystebrooke cast Geyser in their midst; at another point, we were fighting gargoyles and Myste cast Ice Slick across a hallway, and Snow Shoes on the party); our greatest moment was when we got caught in the tower, the combat monster had been Charmed by the vampire (and had DX 20 due to taking an alchemical elixer), and Myste improvised the Frost Heave spell to destroy the stones of the tower and let sunlight in. Then Leagues, the Lame goblin merchant, hit the vamp once with his staff and it crumbled. *sigh*

Other GM ran a simple horse-stealing adventure - one of Leagues' numerous relatives was being framed for horse-theft, and we had to find the real thief. We did, with the help of a Water Elemental that Myste summoned up (no, she doesn't have Summon Water Elemental! She improvised it! And used Luck for the reaction roll . . . ).

Typical Quotes:

"Can you get the whole town together? I can make it rain over most of the fields, I think . . . "

"Oh, right, money. Yeah, whatever - that sounds like enough. Could you pack me one of those loaves for the road, maybe?"

"Fifteen coppers for a bath?? Oh, fine, here, but don't expect me out anytime soon."

<leaning over someone who has just slipped and fallen> "Uh, careful. I think it's slippery there."
