Now when you look at the Bolded part, it is actually conditional on the italics. In a strict reading of the working, it is the Knockback rule that is causing the wound, not the water's special terrain rule, so you should ignore the water's specail rule that requires a figure to stop in water.
Yep, that's what I'd say, and it makes them most logical sense, thematically, mechanically and as to why that's in there in the first place. Honestly, I think this was the original intention that just got overridden by Sir G somehow. Other readings just seem weird to me.
