It does however make one wonder about the supernatural powers of various aquatic threats like the fomors and fae like Greenteeth.

I suppose that's probably do to their powers being rooted in their natures, but (minor spoilerishness ahead) the fomors didn't seem to have much issue with using hokus pokus around water.

Magic is a squirrelly thing.

It's been put forth that those types of magic weilders derive some of their power from water itself and find themselves weakened (their magic anyway) the further from it they are.

That would be a reasonable conclusion.

In Constantine it was stated that water was a universal mystical "lubricant" (paraphrased), and water has long been associated in many superstitions with various mystical properties and beings (like the Japanese Kappa).
No, ma'am. We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor we're aware of. May we come in?
