Say you've got a puddle on the ground, and suddenly it connects with an electric current. The water should carry the current, electrifying those that are in it whom don't have adequate protection
Sources could be exposed wiring, a tampered with battery, stun baton, etc...
Damage taken should probably take into account the strength of the electric current, the size of the puddle it's being displaced through, and the distance you are from the source of the initial charge

It could be challenging, but so rewarding. Maybe limit how much voltage the water can hold so it doesnt instagib, or have it evaporate over time if charged. But if at max capacity it had the same effect as a lethal electric chair I think that would be ok.
If I googled "Does blood conduct electricity as effectively as water" would I end up on any watchlists?

yeah, mad well. it's packed full of electrolytes so it's better than tap water.

Did you know:
Rubber galoshes do not conduct electricity?

I mean yeah but it only takes a minute or two to get a room to neck-height water, would you have galoshes still be effective at that depth?
I just feel like this suggestion is gonna be hard to get right on the Fun-Grif scale.

I was thinking it could be a one and done deal. As in, once a shock has occurred through this means, the source of the shock is spent
If it's a stun baton that's used, the whole battery is spent. If it's from the wiring system, the APC blows out the power in that area.

This works better yes
it's now a Good Idea™
