>character is wet
>use lightning/electric attack
>bonus damage
y tho? I understand the one in Bioshock where electrocuting the water puddle electrocutes everyone touching the puddle because it conducts towards them, but why would you get more shocked if you're wet if the electricity is already going towards you anyway?I didn't finish high school
Water conducts electricity.
>>323392054
but the electricity attack will still electrocute you even without the water why would more water mean more damage?
what subject is this shit anyway physics?
>>323392054
Only if it's dirty water full of minerals. Pure water doesn't conduct electricity.

does that mean I can clean my pc with purified water?

Try it, post your results for us.
>>323393148
Go for it, champ
if america floded and all the steet lights fell down into water would it men that the whole word would be electrifyed?
>>323392365
The electricity would go through your body finding whichever path is the fastest to the ground but when covered in water it would burn your skin
??? I guess I don't know science I'm american.
>>323392906
Well that's most water actually. Harder to find pure h2o than it is to find otherwise>>323393148
Wait a minute
I remember that electro thingy where your hair stands up when you touch it
So if I'm flying and I get electricized, does that mean I don't get hurt because there's no ground?
>>323393564
Very true.
>>323393148
Of course. Rubbing clean water all over dirty surfaces couldn't possibly give you dirty water full of minerals
>>323393868
Correct. That's why lightning doesn't do much shit to planes
/sci/ should see this thread.

Are flying pokemons strong against pikachu?

P=IV=V^2/R where I is a current, V is a voltage difference, R is an electrical resistance, and power dissipated P indicates how much your body heats up or is otherwise damaged by the electrocution. Wet skin has less resistance than dry skin, meaning that R is smaller and P is bigger. For more detail look it up

Pure water is actually an insulator. Magical water is always pure elemental spell.
>>323395978
Yeahyeahyyeah maybe magical water magically picks up impurities from the ground or your skin
>>323394545
Nope. It's the opposite. But it's a reference to birds getting electrocuted on live wires.
WAIT!
IF IGHTING HITS YOU IN THE AIR YOURE FINE?
