The SendingStone review

The 5th edition spell # Create or Destroy Water has been a topic of debate in the Dungeons & Dragons community. It allows for a Cleric or Druid to create a large amount of water or destroy an equal amount of it within a certain radius. Some players argue that this spell is overpowered, as water can be a scarce resource in certain campaigns, giving the spellcaster too much control over the situation.

Others argue that the spell is balanced, simply allowing for a utility option to create or destroy water in situations where it is needed. Additionally, some players appreciate the versatility of the spell, as it can be used in a variety of situations such as extinguishing fires or creating a source of water for parched landscapes. Ultimately, the opinion on # Create or Destroy Water depends on personal play style and the specific campaign being played.
