You are trying to defy nature. Life binds elements together. You kill a living field, you tear things apart. Torn apart, they are free to leave. And they do.
Life exists in a balance of energy.
If there is not enough energy reaching the field, it freezes, nothing grows. If too much energy, it drys up, too hot, everything dies. The energy tears away the water needed to have life work. Life is a matter of things coming together and moving together. Not on fire.
