Lightning + Water = ZAP!

[Lookyhereitsbob]

Hello, I have a suggestion. If lightning hits water whom ever is in the water should die instantly. Is this even possible?

Thanks for reading!

Even if this could work it may be a little overpowered for maps the have large bodies of water, or maps that you have to go through water in. Because you could be on the other side of the map, lightning the water and kill the person on the other side. This also would not require skill and just be an easy kill. Also the other play would not be able to fight back at all against this attack. It would also be very easy to get people into water just by Knockback II swords, then even if they are 30 blocks away in the water and you lightning it you get a non-skilled easy kill.

It should at least electrify the water, giving you some damage.

Not sure about insta death but this could be fun on some maps.

I am not sure about the codeability on this but it seems possible to me.

The instant death for anyone in water is too powerful.

Perhaps an instant kill for anyone 3-5 blocks away and then just 2-3 hearts damage to anyone 10 blocks away or so.

Just my suggestion to add if this was considered.

Say, on like Oriental, someone from red is swimming over and then someone from blue just uses lightning and insta-kills them. That would be over powered. If this were to be implemented, I think we would have to use Ethical's suggestion.
