Notes
- Create water applies the condition: Vulnerability to Cold and Lightning damage (double damage).
- Lightning Spells cast on water causes the condition: Removing their reaction and having a chance to stun.
- Electrified Water + a Fire Spell causes Electrified Steam, which resets the Shocked and Wet conditions.
- A Cold spell freezes the water/mist and creates an Ice surface, causing Difficult Terrain (half Movement Speed) and may cause creatures in the area to fall unless succeeding a DEX Save. (e.g. Create Water + Glyph of Warding).
- Conjuration School Wizards only receive the Create Water variant of the spell, which can only be cast once per Short Rest and doesn't consume a spell slot.
- Rain Dancer only grants the Create Water variant of the spell.
- 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. While casting the spell will unhide you and likely force you into combat, the character who Created this water will still have an action to use in the first turn of combat, as though they hadn't cast a spell. This is true even in Honour Mode
