Water Manipulation

0-level (Cantrip) Transmutation

Casting Time 1 action
Range 30 ft
Duration Instantaneous or 1 hour
Components S, V, M
Materials a Star Seashell from WaterTides


You attune with the water around you, manipulating a small body of it not bigger than one cubic foot, forming it into a sphere in your hand.

You can manifest one of the following effects within range:

  • You instantaneously clean or soil an object or willing creature.
  • You form the sphere from water soiling an object or willing creature with the effect of drying it, or them.
  • The water content of the sphere is purified and rendered fresh for drinking and free of poison and disease until it is either consumed, or this effect is used again.
  • You change the water sphere's color or opacity. The water must be changed in the same way throughout. This change lasts for 1 hour.
  • You can move and relocate water from one container to another, or from a source to a container like filling a waterskin, a barrel or a bottle.
  • You can animate the sphere into any shape, and keep control of it for up to 1 hour. When the effect ends, the animated shape simply loses form.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
