Easily dealt with. Marry thw projectile to a crumbler generator with a time delay / activation upon loss of guiding signal. Set the ring to acticate the crumbler once the projectile is past / inside the target. This deals with over penetration and adda a crumbler effect to the mix of damage.

Veridium rounds might be a good idea- veridium absorbs and channels energy, so it ought to act like a mageslayer against all energy based defenses.

I've been getting Likes by the dozen from those old threads.
He opened with railgun fire; he was operating in lethal mode from the start.
I'm not sure if microwaves would make for a good weapon with all the water being thrown around.

Sadly, the water would form a very good barrier against microwaves- a very quick Google tells me they can only penetrate ~1-10cms of water, which is not nearly enough.

Cold gun seems like a good plan.
Also, if Koryak needs to be holding the crown and whether or not Orm and Koryak have secretly switched places (I doubt it, Orm is too hammy), I would personally go for shooting the Crown out of Koryak's hands.
I can understand why OL might deem it too risky for fear of magical backlash, but with Sephtian on-site and his ring's healing abilities, combined with teleportation, anything that isn't instant death/soul removal would probably be fixable.
Failing that, what would happen if OL had half a dozen (or several dozen) railgun fire mage-slayer shots at the same point? There's gotta be some time limit for how quickly one of those shields can be reset, so I expect it would have better than even odds of something getting through.
Unless he's too low on mage-slayer rounds to risk it, but it's not like saving them is doing him much good.

Under normal circumstances, he's able to use railguns because he intentionally cranks down the muzzle velocity on them, specifically BECAUSE of the overpenetration concerns. When you're talking about using an x-ionized projectile... that really starts getting scary.

You should try ' bewitched ' instead of ' enchanted '. Enchanted is for magical objects. Bewitched is what happens when your bastard uncle kidnaps you and turns you into some kind of zombie/drone wearing his old armor to fuck with his brother even after he was executed for treason.

Also, Orm bled water when injured - if that's actually Koryak, I'd assume he's been converted into a bizarre oceanic revenant.

"Gaaagh!"
Orm doesn't appear hurt, but the destruction of his patron's weapon appears to have shocked him. Either that, or the lightning spell he was building did something to him through that armour. He starts to recover for a second, then takes another hard foam arrow to the face.
"Got you!" Beryl grabs Koryak and wrestles him to the ground. Atlantean Pureblood or not, the armour she's wearing makes her stronger than him and the protection his Ocean Master gear provides doesn't really help with her wrestling him-. Ah, she's applied some sort of gas to his exposed face. That should do it.
BOOM!
Brut bounds back into the room, splashing as he lands. Some water still lingers on the stony floor but it doesn't seem to be about to attack us. Canis slashes at Orm's back, cutting a narrow groove through the armour protecting his back. Orm collapses.
"Nonono. That wasn't what I meant." Sephtian is kneeling down at the gazebo, taking in the spell work in place upon it. His arms move, and a dazzling array of purely etheric runes shimmering into visibility. "You've destroyed too much!"
That sounds like the most important thing going on. I dart in his direction as Beryl begins tying up the recumbent Koryak. "Explain."
He squints up at me. Is this..? Yes, this is probably the first time he's seen me in my current generation combat armour. "This… This spell, is-. It was the Titan's prison. Now.. it.. is not. I had thought that we might restore it…" He sags.
Oh dear.
"What do you need?"
"A-a-a-a-ah…" He crawls over the structure to take it all in. "Here, restore… Restore it physically."
Ring, use prior scans to restore the structure.
Compliance.
Orange light flashes over the structure, stone whole once more. Sephtian's body stills as he gets a clear look at the remaining runes.
"Can you-?"
"No. No, I cannot. This will require far more power than I-."
"Orange Lantern to Cornwall. Get in here now."
"Ah, Orange Lantern? Oceanus is, like-."
"Now!"
"Coming."
"Power, restored physical component. What else do we need to force Oceanus back inside?"
"I'm… Ah…" He shudders as he tries to get a grip on himself. "I think…" He moves his hands over the outer part of the rune network. "This is recent, based on my work. You were.. right. Atlantis was betrayed."
Rob appears in a blast of air, looking around the room. I hold up my left hand in a 'wait' gesture. "Professor, please-."
He holds up his right hand to stop me, wiggling it slightly. "It was.. linked to the trident. With that destroyed... And here and here…" Parts of the runic network dim. "This is designed to imprison him. They modified it with my work… If I had been here-."
"What do we do?"
"You." He motions to Rob with his right hand, beckoning him. "Here. Provide power."
"Right." Rob kneels down next to him, his eyes unfocusing slightly. Several runes glow more brightly. "Any good?"
"No. Ah, yes-" Rob looks at him in concern. "-you are doing well, but it is not enough. Oceanus now has too much of himself in this world. It is enough to prevent thissss… System from pulling him back. And… Some of this is not… Not working."
"Hades gets a good chunk of his power from draining Erebos. Maybe Poseidon had a similar thing set up for O-."
"Oceanus." He nods. "Yes, that would make sense. But why is it inactive?"
"They fought about ten minutes ago. Poseidon lost. Any ideas for a replacement?"
He goes completely still. "Neptune?" He shudders, then starts re-examining the runes.
"Never met him."
"Perhaps… If Oceanus' avatar was destroyed…" He shakes his head. "I am sorry, it is all I can think of."
"Hah. Hah!" I turn to see Canis holding Orm up by his cuirass. He's taken off the foam and his helmet, revealing his pale white and somewhat chewed upon face. If it was a Lazarus Pit that brought him back, it clearly didn't do a particularly good job. "Oceanus will crush you all!"
I…
I don't know how to stop him.
"Aaaahhh..? Orange Lantern to… Everyone? We've recaptured the thing that was used to imprison Oceanus. If we destroy his body… We think we can stick him back in. But I don't know how to do that. At... This point, I think we're looking at nukes. I don't have anything better."
Except the Ophidian. Could I..? Could we assimilate something like Oceanus? What would that do to me, or to the Earth's seas? Probably less harm than leaving him to his own devices, but… I honestly would rather nuke him. Something like this… 'I don't know' really isn't something I want to work on. But… If that's all I can do…
"Canis, Squire, stay here with the prisoners. Arsenal, guard Sephtian and Cornwall."
"Right." / "Okay."
Canis doesn't respond. He's using his sword to cut open the rest of Orm's armour, and as each part of the body beneath is revealed he pauses, taking time to examine, move and poke at the newly revealed flesh. Taking a firm grip on Orm's head and right arm, he leans forward and sniffs-.
I fly at high speed back out of the cave. Since I'm not really having to study it I can afford to make better time-.
Shiiiiit Oceanus looks big from the ground. He's not here yet, but he isn't far away. Once he takes up position… He can just throw out waves and then have that last Water Wraith or.. whoever, work out how to undo the bindings…
A large ball tumbles past me, about fifteen Saremites tangled up in Mister O'Brian's distended body. Razor-tipped filaments dart out from my body, jamming themselves into their skulls and stunning them. A bit of a risk, but I think we're taking a holiday from 'no killing' today. And they'll probably survive, it's just not as well calibrated as-.
**Black Canary to Orange Lantern. Batman agrees. We're going to evacuate everyone.** I can hear the defeat in her voice even as I see League members and the rest of my team locked in combat with the Saremites. **Create a zeta tube construct-.**
**Sir… Cornwall and Sephtian will need to remain in place to make the spells work.**
**I-.**
**Paul, can you get me to the sun?**
I wheel around, looking for Kon. **Um. Yeeess? But.. it won't make you that much stronger or I'd just have grabbed Superman.**
He shoves a large Saremite into the rocky surface of the island and punches it in the head, stunning it. **I'm not talking about Kryptonian power. Ocean Master isn't the only one who worships a Titan.**

High energy microwaves would flash heat the ultra thin water barrier to steam.
I mean yea he should have just used a laser, but he doesn't seem to do lasers for some odd reason so microwave beam it is.
