What about adding a new attack type along the lines of suffication 
(affixiation?) - the "water" terrain would provide this attack type very 
similar to  how lava causes fire damage.

With the new attack type, certain races (ex: undead) would be immune while 
other races would be vulnerable to this attack type (ex: fireborn?).

Plus, it would open a possibilities of a whole new line of spells.
