Notes

• Create or Destroy water has a variant that is only available to Druids, Clerics and level 6 Storm Sorcery Sorcerers if you have unlocked level 2 spell slots. This variant is weaker, but does not cost any spell slots.
• Create water applies the  Wet condition: Vulnerability to Cold and Lightning damage (double damage).
• Lightning Spells cast on water causes the  Shocked 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 prone status effect  Prone unless succeeding a DEX Save. (e.g. Create Water + Glyph of Warding).
• Conjurations 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.
