Once you leave the tap, the bucket starts leaking. It leaks quickly at first because of the water pressure, but slows down as it becomes less full. You can still use the Water, but it isn't replenishing because there is no Water tap. With experience, you can plug the hole slightly, reducing the rate of leakage.
And then you also have a balloon for Air, a sack for Earth (from the Earth Tap), and a keg of gunpowder for Fire. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
i hope larian will use that instead of the usual & therefore boring 'mana' term. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
jeet, turn-based elements are ok provided it remains hidden as what bioware does with NWN. i just hate turn-based methodology for the fact that i suck in it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
anyway, please may i have some more bucket-balloon-sack-keg theory?
