Exactly what neutralizes a MAA?

[Grazzt]

As a side question, how much area CAN you fill with 8 gallons of water?

One cubic foot according to the PHB.

Create Water
ph189 "Water can be created in an area as small as will actually contain the liquid or in an area three times as large, (possibly creating a downpour or filling many smaller containers)"


While it does not specificaly say that you can cast it into the air, you can't have a downpour if there is no down. It allso looks like you can only do this with the oversized 'area'.

Astlin

The downpour I believe means that if you created enough water to fill say a large basin, the water would rain from above to fill it.

"Conjuration (Creation) spells must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it. It cannot appear floating in empty space." (PHB, page 157)

(gee tough crowd. )

Cubic feet = Volume.
Square feet = Area.

The downpour I believe means that if you created enough water to fill say a large basin, the water would rain from above to fill it.

Downpour was only an option for an area 'three times as large'.
You can use the over sized area to 'create a downpour' or 'fill many small containers'. The word 'possibly' seams to indicate that these are just a few examples.

The spell is poorly worded. There is no way to to create water 'on a surface capable of supporting it' in such a way that you have a downpour. The spell does tell you how much water you can produce, but it does not tell you how much of an area that it would cover (volume does not equil area).

The spell does tell you how much water you can produce, but it does not tell you how much of an area that it would cover (volume does not equil area).

Perhaps:

One inch of water depth = 0.62 gallons per square foot of area


Also-

volume / depth = area, or something like that...IIRC.

We make it one sixtenth of an ince of water and it covers a four foot by four foot area.

Edit: It has to be volume. Water has 3 dimensions. However, you can make the hieght dimension very small. If you want it to cover 2800 square feet, then the water will be 1/2800 inches deep.

Err, to be nitpicky, there is a little more than 8 gallons of water per cubic foot, IIRC. One inch of water should be more like .7 gallons.

Regardless, blood, seawater, etc. are all a little basic. Soap may also work, I dunno.

Right- but WotC states in the PHB (for simplicity's sake I would imagine) that 8 gallons equal one cubic foot so we might as well be as simple as they were/are .
