I cannot find where I mentioned this magical spring of Life Water here, but since I am waiting for a phone call I thought I would share some details in a new topic. Natasha will likely come along and correct me or provide more information since I do not know that much lore or fairytaling type stuff. I just know where to find one of these Springs. While it's not quite what we read in the tales, it is nothing short of fucking amazingly miraculous. Maybe if you're God or a powerful dragon you know where the really powerful mojo can be found.... either road, two tales come to mind.

There are two folktales that come immediately to mind. The first is called The Magic Shirt. The Water of Life actually plays small part in this tale about a, uh, magic shirt and a helpful dragon who uses some of this water to restore life to a guy that was chopped into pieces. The dragon probably took water from the spring for such sad days.

Another story is called Right and Wrong which revolves around a nice guy having his eyes gouged out by a wicked guy; the nice guy prays to God who tells how how to find a Life Spring - in which he must wash his body and eyes and he will see again - and an oak tree to hide in for during the night the devils come together and reveal their secrets to one another. He uses information learned there to exorcise one of the devils from a princess who no one else in the land could help, so he becomes ultrarich upon marrying her. He wants to visit his family and along the road he meets the guy that gouged out his eyes. He is so nice that he tells the wretch where to find the Spring and how to find the oak. The wretch does all this but the devils hear him in the tree and they pull down and viciously tear him asunder.

Hehehehe

Thats as good an ending as anyone can ask for.

It's pretty simple why I remember these stories.

That sounds like instahypothermia to me.

Anyone every give a reason why it was constantly so cold?

Strange.

I never heard anything like this before. Fascinating.

Natasha says that if you charge up cold, non-moving water like a lake with P.P.E. it can act like a capacity in electronics.. it'll sort of hold the "charge" for a bit. Moving water acts like an eraser of mystic energy which is why vampires and other mystical creatures cannot cross through it.
