Got a rough idea and just figured I'd throw it out for consumption and improvement.

I've long been interested in development of the ruined city of Peleverai as a city that was "reborn" by refugees from Toril while in Abeir. I've basically considered it a city built into the walls of a river canyon, with tunnels that lead into the surrounding underdark. This canyon then opens out into the landrise that separates the eastern and western Shar. So, I have pictured not one but multiple waterfalls along its length coming from different underground rivers that then make the river Shar that used to run across the plains of the Shar, giving it life.

So, I also started thinking about Imaskari magic being implemented to revitalize this city, and one thought came to mind.... Extradimensional spaces and what to do with them. So, what about an extradimensional water storage facility, that then periodically gets "opened" causing a rush of water into aqueducts, pipes, and out into farmlands? It then occurred to me that these might also go to water cannons that might be spread around to fight fires in the city, do light defense of the city, clean the city, etc.... Then I thought, what if these "water cannons" could apply an electrical charge to the water making it "mildly" electrified (i.e. maybe incurring a single point of damage a round). This makes if more effective as a crowd deterrent. Any other ideas come to mind? Any other uses? Opening the floor.

First of all… love this idea! It’s creatively wild. *thumbs up*

And secondly, while I can’t immediately generate any other ideas atm, I am intrigued by how you perceive the POVs of surrounding cities and towns that might come up with an eye for seeing the potential for the “military” application of such ‘magitech.’
