Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Duration: 12 hours
Attack/Save: ranged spell attack (lightning cannons)
Damage/Effect: lightning
You weave together a mass of clouds to form a boat, which manifests into existence directly above you. This ship can be any sort of ship that you have seen and remember. The clouds which compose the ship do not block the majority of sunlight, and thus does not affect the light shone directly underneath it.
The ship has 100 hit points, an AC of 12, and immunity to acid, cold, psychic and poison damage. It has a flying speed of 120 feet, and can carry an amount of creatures equal to three times your spellcasting ability modifier. Only you may pilot this ship. As an action while piloting the ship, you gain access to a type of mounted weapon exclusive to the spell, giving you the ability to fire up to three bolts of lightning. When you do so, you can make a ranged spell attack against a creature within 60 feet of the ship. You can fire them at one target or several. On a hit, a creature takes 3d8 lightning damage. A gust of wind spell or similar magic halves the speed of the boat, and will dispel the boat entirely if it spends more than three rounds within its area of effect. The skywrite spell can be used to open a hole in the ship, large enough to drop a single creature through it.
