Water witch float switch is a type of sensor used to detect the level of water in tanks, sumps, and wells. It is commonly used in various applications such as in irrigation systems, water tanks, and pumping stations. The float switch consists of a buoyant float that moves up and down with the water level and a switch mechanism that is activated by the movement of the float. The water witch float switch works on a simple principle of buoyancy. When the water level rises, the float also rises, and when the water level drops, the float also drops. The switch mechanism is connected to the float and is triggered when the float reaches a certain level.
This spell created an invisible, weightless whip of hard-edged air extending from a limb of the caster. With this construct, the caster could strike with his normal BAB at one chosen opponent, dealing 2 points of damage per level per successful attack. In any round in which the wind lash successfully struck, the target had to make a Dexterity check DC 15 or be hurled to the ground, taking an additional 1 point of damage.
The caster could switch targets at will, but switching targets consumed a round, during which time no one could be attacked by the wind lash. The nature of the wind lash was such that only the chosen target was struck. Other beings were aware of the spell because it emitted snarling wind noises and sometimes blew away small, light objects such as cap-feathers and parchments that were not securely gripped (but they suffered no damage). If the spellcaster cast another spell while this spell was still in effect, the wind lash dissipated immediately. A wind lash- wielder could employ magical items simultaneously with a lash if they could be wielded with one hand.

As his body fell, his stony eyes, still shimmering with the last glint of godly omniscience, caught a glimpse of the cities of Netheril smashing to the ground, killing all their inhabitants.
The switch mechanism is connected to the float and is triggered when the float reaches a certain level. This triggers the switch to open or close an electrical circuit, which can be used to turn on or off a pump or a valve. One of the advantages of using a water witch float switch is its reliability and accuracy.
Netherik empire of magic
"Finally, without warning or preamble, Larloch, the Shadow King, revealed the secret past of Netheril." Netheril: The Empire of Magic
So begins the first book in the Netheril boxed set, so begins the Netheril story. The Netheril Empire was located where the Anauroch -- that strange desert in the other wise green and frequently frosty north -- is now located in the modern period of the Forgotten Realms setting. In many ways, the desert is the scorch mark they left when their empire fell. The boxed set was published several years ago and was the first of the Arcane Age supplements. All told it is interesting and despite a few errors worth the money.
"The year 326 marked one of the most important dates in Netheril's history � the discovery of the nether scrolls." Netheril: The Empire of Magic
The boxed set contains two books and two maps, with the two books totaling about 158 pages. Each map is printed on both sides. The first shows Netheril at its height on one side and its frontier on the other � the frontier is Savage North in the current setting. The second map shows Netheril shortly before its collapse, illustrating a stark change as much of its lands have turned to desert. The reverse of the second maps illustrates the Karsus enclave. The first book is "The Winds of Netheril," which details the history of Netheril, offering campaign suggestion and parameters as well as a list of when spells where created. It also describes equipment available, the gods of the period and a list of important cities and locations in the Netheril Empire. Finally, it includes a detailed look at the Karsus enclave and a list and description of important people through the history of Netheril. The second book, the "Encyclopedia Arcana," details magic items unique to Netheril and a list of Netheres spells, such as "Karsus' Avatar": a spell that allowed a mage to become a god.
"This spell allowed the caster to become a god of his choosing, replacing a current with himself the moment the spell was completed." Netheril: The Empire of Magic
However it was not a good idea for Karsus to cast the spell because he choose Mystryl -- the goddess of magic at the time. In so doing he pretty much turned off all of magic for about and hour and a half. This caused all the floating Netheril cities -- the enclaves created and run by 20+ level mages -- to pile drive into the ground, old mages to turn to dust and all sort of trouble all over the place. Mystra � the next goddess of magic � came to power and rewrote all the rules so that could not happen again, basically setting up 1st edition until the Time of Trouble, when 2nd edition came about. Thematically the boxed set is very interesting. It portrays a human society that lasted more than 3,000 years and had its own flavor and so forth. The magic is interesting and the notion of a culture with many floating cities is truly fantastic. After reading the set it does feel like it is something of a sadness to have lost such a nation and people.
"As his body fell, his stony eyes, still shimmering with the last glint of godly omniscience, caught a glimpse of the cities of Netheril smashing to the ground, killing all their inhabitants. His heart broke � greed for the power of the gods themselves caused the destruction of his home, his family, his friends, and his people." Netheril: The Empire of Magic
Of course, the set is backwards engineered to fit into the current Forgotten Realms setting so the empire had to fall down and go boom. That aside, slade and Butler did a good job with the set. In many ways it is reminiscent of the stories of Atlantis � an ancient empire of humanity the rose to a great height but fell when they tinkered poorly with ultimate power. Likewise there is a subtle message about a people who were used to having everything handed to them and who were not able to survive on their own without everything being handed to them. Perhaps this message is why the set has gotten bad reviews elsewhere: gamers do not like games with a message or stories with a moral. They just want to kill thing and only want DM's around to facilitate their ability to do so. Be that as it may, the set is good because it portray a setting that is truly fantastic � great floating cities, magic that provides everyday household needs, strange non-human shaped beings and so forth. In many ways, most supplements and novels just feel like a day at a Ren-Fair where they have a modest laser-lights show budget. Much of "fantasy" in the Realms is no longer so fantastic. This boxed set bring the fantastic back. The set does have its faults. First among these are editorial errors, like in one place where "fate" is misspelled as "fat." These are mostly amusing until the history and time line sections where they become confusing. In addition, the scope of the history of Netheril poses some problems as well. In 3,000+ years, it only filled a space about the size on the Anauroch, rather than a territory much larger. In this 3,000+ year period there were never any major wars to speak of and little to no description of how Netheril dealt with other major world powers like Calimshan, Unther, Mulhorandi and what have you. Granted there was space limitations, but by comparison, "Cormanthyr: Empire of Elves" did a much better job in the history department. This should not stop you from picking up a copy, however. In the end, this boxed set has been unfairly disparaged and is worth picking for the way it details a truly fanatic and interesting setting.

Reviews for "Understanding the Working Principles of Water Witch Float Switches"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Water Witch float switch. It was advertised as being reliable and durable, but it stopped working after just a few months of use. I tried troubleshooting and even contacted customer support, but nothing could fix the issue. I ended up having to replace it with a different brand, and I would not recommend this product to anyone.
2. Mike - 1 star - The Water Witch float switch was a complete waste of money for me. It malfunctioned from the very beginning and caused a major flooding in my basement. The switch failed to detect the rising water level and didn't trigger the pump, which resulted in extensive water damage. The switch was supposed to be reliable, but it clearly didn't live up to its claims. I'm extremely dissatisfied with this product and would advise others to stay away from it.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Water Witch float switch, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. It seemed to work fine initially, but after a few weeks, it started to get stuck and wouldn't trigger the pump consistently. I had to manually adjust it multiple times, which defeated the purpose of having an automatic switch. The quality of this switch is questionable, and I would recommend looking for a more reliable option.
4. David - 2 stars - The Water Witch float switch did not meet my expectations. I installed it in my sump pump system, and it worked fine for a couple of months. However, it started getting stuck in the raised position, causing the pump to run continuously. This not only wasted energy but also put unnecessary strain on the pump. I eventually replaced it with a different brand, and I've had no issues since. I wouldn't recommend the Water Witch float switch based on my experience.
