Is this an OK idea for limitations on magic to justify why wizards haven't replaced electricity and water supplies yet, or is it just being a dick?

the first one sounds rather dickish
the second one makes sense though

Sounds good. Personally I just give a time limit to conjurings, so if a Wizard conjures water out of no where, it eventually returns to no where. This means drinking said water could be extremely dangerous. You drink 16oz of it, and two hours later those 16oz just disappear from reality.

wouldn't it be better if it disappeared slowly ?
For example after 12 hours on average 8oz have disappeared from your body, after 24 hourse 4oz more and so on, like uranium. The more you drink, the faster more disapears
That way you could drink it without much problems at the beginning, but after some time it would be dangerous since you would lose water extremly fast
