Interesting concept. I think I would do the same. However, how to
extinguish a fire ? Putting a linen or something on it should not be
enough as no air is needed ? Only water or spell could work ?

"You're right" would say a Tholaina priest ! "A fish needs water, not
air ! Try removing a fish from the water and let it on the ground,
where there is plenty of air but no water. It will die soon !"
