Notes

• 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 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").
