This has probably already been reported, but you can throw the water in a waterskin and it turns into an item on the floor, which you can put in your backpack or carry around with you or throw at people like a rock. Uh?

Odd.  It's supposed to wipe out items like that.  How cold was it?  It doesn't call frozen water ice yet.

Are you sure the game doesn't call frozen water "Ice" yet? Because in 39d I had the water in my water-skin freeze, and it correctly referred to it as having three units of "Ice" in it.

I don't remember the exact temperature, it was in a cave. Definitely not cold enough to freeze, though. I was just looking for things to throw and one of them on the list was water, so I hucked it at a troll and killed it with "spinning water", then went over and picked up the water items. They had the double ~ blue symbol when on the floor. When I picked them up they became seperate items in my backpack. Unfortunately I don't currently have the same save since I remade the world, but I can try to reproduce it.

Ah, in a cave it might happen.  I think it might preserve the subterranean items so that your dwarves have to clean them up.

For the ice, it depends on the item.   Some are named properly, and some aren't.
