If you're summoning water, you're summoning it near you. Thus, being submerged within a giant mass of water would theoretically slow down the duration of the impact when you hit, especially if the volume of water is significant compared to the size of the cavern you find yourself in.

Not an optimal way to built a character, but fun. A Water cleric who was a wall of meat and health, healed with spontaneous conversion, and for flavor he created water, made water holy, and then controlled said water.
When you can flood a cavern with water almost instantaneously, you can let a lack of oxygen do most of your killing for you. Bless the water in case of undead.

You'd probably be best to take everything I say with a grain of salt. Unless we're arguing about alignment. In which case, you're wrong. Also, please wait a recommended 15 to 20 mins before quoting me. I edit.

*Buzzing the Jade Pleasure Dome at Mach 3 will irritate the gods therein. (1st Ed Exalted)
*A single magi-tech contraption pumping out more than 17 million damage per turn... Mystra's attention, you have it. (Playing an Arcane Mechanik PrCing into Warcaster in Faerun.)
*I am no longer allowed to follow through with any idea that starts with my character yelling "Hey guys, watch this!"
*No, my arcane mechanik cannot resurrect our dead party member.
**Even if he slaughters an entire town of innocents in a single blaze to funnel their souls into said party member.
*One should not be surprised when their character is regarded differently after slaying a group of apprentice red wizards with a rain of metal rods of... a dubious shape.
*No, a Mercy focused hunter would not use a meat slicer on a screaming vampire's head. (Hunter: the Reckoning)

I got my new DM to give me a house ruled spell that separates an area containing only 1 type of molecule and reduce in into the base elements
(I used the example of splitting table salt into sodium and chlorine)
when our 2nd level party was attacked by 20+ orcs who were crossing a fiver with a battering ram I convinced a party member to "stand by the river with a torch" saying i had a "good plan" (thank you massive bluff score). I promptly cast my spell on the river thus turning H2O into 2parts explosive gas and 1part flammable gas. the whole river blew like a bomb killing a grand total of 23 orcs 1PC and a fair amount of vegetation and wildlife, the GM finish by telling my deceased ally "your dead corpses levels up as it is swept away by the angry waters"
Every DM who saw this has considered some or all of the following rules:
I cannot use houseruled spells anymore
I cannot play an alchemist anymore
I cannot play a chaotic alignment anymore
I cannot put ranks in charisma-based skills anymore

* I may not throw a Roc at the party, only for it to grab one of the party members and fly away.
** I may not then throw a White Dragon with Snatch at the party, just to have it grab the same party member and fly away.
*** May not use any monsters with the Snatch feat
**** May NOT throw Tucker's Kobolds at the party either.
***** That's it, no more hit and run tactics from monsters EVER
