This is especially true if he's being used as a source of potable water, drinking the water is equivalent to eating it for rules purposes, meaning that the points spent to stabilize the water are lost and cannot be regained, only replaced by new character points.

Yeah in the last 30 years I'm almost always the GM :p. I typically waive the "creation pool", but do require extended duration up to permanent (though if they could create something like wealth if they can create gold or what not)
I really appreciate you crunching the numbers, but if a gallon of water weighs 8.33lbs., wouldn't classic Deluge (create 10 =1,000lbs. = 120 gallons) and my "new" deluge (create 40 =16,000 = 1,920 gallons)
If he used it 35 times, wouldn't that be 4,200 gallons (or 67,200 gallons for "my" version)?
Also wonderign how cool the water is at creation....The power assumes "room temperature"...but if your in freezing temperatures I don't think it would create bulk ice (it's not "create (ice)") So I would assume to be water in freezing temps it would "come out" at 33-35 degrees. If it is created in a targets hex....essentialy immersing him in water if only for a second, wouldn't the water begin to crystalize almost immediately? kind of like those youtube videos where people toss water in the air and it comes down as snow?
