you create water

It'll give you a choice of either create or destroy water in your hotbar. Once you select one of those options you'll have a marker of where to cast it in the world.

Put out fires. Make enemies wet so they take more lightning or cold damage. Profit.

Create water, electrify it. There are actually boots that electrify water you stand in. There's quite a few items that have synergy with it. Dousing fire, diluting sticky oil puddles, etc. It's situational, but you can have fun with it.

Actually it is not worth it since you can just throw carafe of water at enemies. If you have the rain dancer then its free ability is useful every now and then. Usually to remove a fire area that exploded after being oiled or greased.

But usually a good idea is to get multiple folks to stand in water and then use ray of frost or any ice spell on them, or on one standing inside the water. This way you create ice surface which is a hard terrain, so their movement is lowered, and also the cantrip ice spell lowers movement by 3 meters. They can also slip on ice, and get prone.

as far as I can tell its pretty worthless unless someone with lightning spells are going immediatly after the person that uses it. that said I did use it to put out a fire and it made an npc wet. then later in the fight the enemy I was fighting teleported the npc and disguised themselves as it to confuse me but the real npc still had the wet status so that was neat.

:D Sorry, couldn't help it.

I had one character purposely take that spell - but it is no cantrip, so basically useless in comparison with water barrels / water bottels (both are plentyful). I even managed to get a quarterstaff with that skill - but being one application per short rest just isn't enough. So basically I'd advice against the spell.

As for when to use it - when your party is on fire (minus Karlach of course) or you want to pass some firefields. It is also the preparation for some nice ice / thunder / lighting spells.

Really just for dousing flames. Huh... kinda lame spell.

You can put out fires, remove puddles to avoid becoming wet, use it over enemies to make them wet and create puddles before casting lightning of frost spells (wet makes creatures vulnerable - taking double damage - from electric and frost spells and puddles with either become electrified and do small damage to all touching them or freeze and require a test of cause them to fall).

[Spiral90]

Hitting an enemy with it makes them wet which makes them take more damage from Ice and Lightning damage. It also creates a water surface which you can freeze or electrify with Ice and Lighting spells, which can happen when you target the surface or hit an enemy standing on it.

It can also put out fires and save burning allies.

Combo it with lightning or ice spells to double their damage. It can also reveal invisible enemies.
