Graphite dust is a bitch in zero G

I now perceive the world in 40 foot radiuses. When I walk into a room I immediately assess the potential xp gain of a fireball. When I choose a table at a restaurant I ensure that I am outside the blast radius of the point any logical wizard would target. When planning my wedding I ensured there would be a counter spell prepared by every member of the wedding party (I distributed enchanted flasks to the martial classes.) My home is a series of right angled hallways and all bedrooms are only accessible by ladder.

Yes but they still have interior and exterior moisture, and evolved from plants that weren’t always in a lake. And I suppose occasionally grow in temporary bodies of water.

Surface area is evaporative exposure and frost exposure, might not matter much to temperate acclimated plants but it may be an evolutionary holdover. Also plants don’t really expend energy to modulate their bodies. It’s more about moving water around their internals.

Moving may also prevent some fungus or algae colonization.
