:No, not necessarily; a water demon is base level 8, so will have 8d8 hit points (average 36hp).  A wand of cold will do 9d6 damage against them, as they are not cold resistant but fire resistant, which increases the damage done; that's an average of 30.5 damage.  So, on average it will take two shots, although of course one beam can hit the demon twice if you bounce it off a wall. -[[User:Ion frigate|Ion frigate]] 17:10, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Will zapping a wand of cold at a water demon kill him instantly? --Anonymous

No, not necessarily; a water demon is base level 8, so will have 8d8 hit points (average 36hp). A wand of cold will do 9d6 damage against them, as they are not cold resistant but fire resistant, which increases the damage done; that's an average of 31.5 damage. So, on average it will take two shots, although of course one beam can hit the demon twice if you bounce it off a wall. -Ion frigate 17:10, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
