Reverse time for perms. I like it. I just don't fully understand the thematics behind it...I guess if it froze your hands while holding a sword it would hard to grip? idk
lol. All weapons and shields are now boats. Nice idea anyway, I won't fight you on thematics after such a thought.
Water has TONS of soft PC (Ice Bolt, Freeze/Squid(voodoo)) and some stranger hard PC (Trident, NT). I feel like this treads too much on Ice Bolt and gives yet more indirect PC to Water which already has a ton, especially for weapons.
This sounds like a spell, why did you classified it as a permanent?About thematics, how about Tidal Blast? (you knocked your opponent and it has to reequip its shield/weapon)
