Fluff suggests crunch but doesn't dictate it.

"I spray them with a jet of chlorine trifluoride" vs "I spray them with a jet of water", assuming the same underlying advantage, gives the same mechanical result regardless of what chlorine trifluoride does. (Go look it up. Its' a lovely, lovely, thing. Even the Nazi wouldn't touch it. Too scary for them.)
Ah. I was thinking I could apply a body of water meta-trait and it would be easier or something. But apparently not.
