Yes, I agree.

Sigh. I'm sorry to disappoint any expectation of a comprehensive plan 
for world domination; I thought a few illustrative examples would 
suffice. If you want the full scheme, I demand one million dollars!

"blot the sun with smoke and ash/send pestilences" should be credible 
in places distant from water, especially if you *actually* blot the sun 
for a while, or actually let some un-Urthly pests devour some crops and 
bite prominent citizens.

The carrot may compel as well as the stick; presumably some people will 
fall for the undine's charms and their offers of curiously wrought jewelry.
