the artstyle/background is kinda bland, but it seems like effort was at least put into making the magic casting unique.

Man... The MC missed the oppertunity to say the classic line, "repay me with your body".

Yeah, he started kicking himself about half an hour later.

That entire ultra pure water spiel made zero sense but I'll forgive it cause it's fantasy

 

[Elaborate]

I've seen this 'ultra-pure water dissolvess stuff like acid' stuff elsewhere, but...

Even if it were true that ultra-pure water dissolves anything... Let's do a thought experiment.
We have one bottle of ultra-pure water. We have an herb, which we will lower into the water slowly.
What happens as you dissolve the first millimeter of the herb?
Well, naturally it mixes with the water, making it no longer ultra-pure...

Actually, the more you say you have to purify the water to make it ultra-pure, the less it can dissolve without losing its quality!

That is not how UPW works. But alas, this being fantasy it's probably it works over there. Still really funny though that it's also basically like holy water. I wonder if it works on vampires and undeads.

 

[Szaal]

I low-key expected the "pure water insulates from electricity!". It's part of the trope, after all. Nay, is part of the science.
Instead, what we get is pure water dissolves herb. Like, yeah, but that's not exactly how it works. Water dissolves minerals, chemicals, and other substances which are polar (molecular structure which has positively charged atom and negatively charged ones stay at opposite side) because water itself is polar (positive H+ and negative O-). Against non-polar molecules, water won't do much (i.e. hydrocarbons--oils and fats).

And it's not like water will crunch a piece of solid rock. No, unless you have a running water which applies physical erosion on the rock.
