If you think about the physics of it (in the ingame model)where mages are able to control a currents to strike a particular target through the air(orb lightning lightning bolt) and the air being conductor the same way as water is(although water is a better one obv.) I see no reason why not.

It has to be said, I am clueless about electricity effects, I use things like my tongue to test! But if I'm 50 yards from lightning strike in air I think I survive, but if I'm in a (big) bath and it hits the water, I thought I do not... or is that something I should try? Isn't the point that air is not "the same kind of conductor" as water?

What I meant was: Imagine it as a flow of tiny particles, if you are so "magically" powerful to move that flow and focus it on your enemies heads, you should be able to guide it through the molecules of water and focus it in a similar way as through air molecules (although it should be slighthly harder contolling it coz all the electrons will be trying to escape sideways and will be going everywhere). And then again if that flow meets something with a different molecular structure, that is an insolator(wood, plastic etc), then you won't be able to puncture through.
