Water Lightning Spell Combo (Bug?)

[unmerged(274520)]

I figured out how to get Lightning AND Water into one spell despite them being opposites, but I have strong feelings this is a bug, so I don't do it.

Create Steam, then Lightning, and use Cold to eliminate the Fire in Steam to make Water.
OR
Create Ice, then Lightning, and use Fire to eliminate the Cold in Ice to make Water.

It is a known bug, but it doesn't really upset the game balance so it is considered a non critical bug.

Steam already wets the target and you can combine steam + lightning so it's not too much of an advatage to mix the two at this point.

True, but arcing wet lightning is quite powerful. I find it quite fun to use. Although, Interestingly, I don't think it has any knockback.

I don't know how harmless people think this bug is, but it can lead to some interesting spamming of Thunderstorm.

Then run around and observe as everything blows up from double damage lightning strikes.

This is particularly amusing at the beginning of Ch. 10 - the rain sets all the elementals to water, so they take 15,000 damage from each lightning strike. Plus your lightning/water ward provides full immunity.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to add cold or fire immunity to the same ward, although you can add arcane and run around in the storm spamming SD rocks.
