Water gets really complicated, legally, going back to the Romans. Water being on your property doesn’t really mean much. Imagine if you were allowed to buy 100 feet next to a river and damn it, for example.


> damn it

Curses and hexes are not prohibited by the law. If you want to damn a river, damn it. You don't even need to buy the land first.


But it may open you to excommunication from the religious power in your area. Using hexes and curses might get you burned at the stake


Yeah! curse the water and the locals show up with torches and pitchforks, dont ask how I know...


lol, touché


This has become my favorite comment on hn


On a related note:

to those who say "it's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness" I say "Damn the darkness!"
