  • You can only have one version of Create or Destroy Water at a time, even if you gain it from multiple sources.
  • The incantations for Create Water are Pluo ("Rain") and Aqua pura ("Pure water"). The incantations for Destroy Water are Aresce ("Become dry") and Ares decimos ("Ten times drier").
  • A hidden character that is out-of-combat can cast the Create Water version of this spell on in-combat characters without using an action.

This is true even in Honour Mode
