[Cavall]

If only someone was to make some sort of "spoil food and water" spell. But thats for dreamers.

Dragon, True :: d20srd.org

"Corrupt Water (Sp)
Once per day an adult or older black dragon can stagnate 10 cubic feet of water, making it become still, foul, and unable to support animal life. The ability spoils liquids containing water. Magic items (such as potions) and items in a creature’s possession must succeed on a Will save (DC equal to that of the dragon’s frightful presence) or become fouled. This ability is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell. Its range is equal to that of the dragon’s frightful presence."

If you need some guidance for making a new spell, there ya go!

OMG, can't believe we're on page three for such a reta... "obviously unnecessary" question.

I really don't get it, OP: You were gonna forbid a totally harmless usage of a certain spell, because you could think of a totally broken usage of the same spell along the lines of a (wrongly assumed) analogy in the logic of said harmless usage? Wow.

I mean, it isn't as if you couldn't have allowed the spell to desalinate sea water and STILL rule you couldn't no-save-kill somebody with it... man, I feel dumber just spelling that out...

I thought we had soundly debunked the OP way back on page 1 and since then the thread's just been people messing around or derailing the topic. In other words, giving the topic the seriousness it deserves.

I'm the topic creator, I felt it wasn't a retarded question as my concerns were as much on the feel of using a low level spell to purify something that was MEANT to be in that state as in the long term ramfications. I asked for feedback on what people felt, took that into account and DID modify my decision to allow it. Follwing which this is my first post in 2 pages after playing devils advocate for awhile to satisfy myself on the first one.

On that note, I think we can draw this thread to a close.

Thanks
