The object created must be no larger than a 5-foot cube, and the object must be of a form and material that you have seen before.

The duration depends on the object's material. If the object is composed of multiple materials, use the shortest duration.

Vegetable matter - 1 day

Using any material created by this spell as another spell's material component causes that spell to fail.

The SendingStone review

Opinions on the spell # Creation vary, but many agree that it is a powerful tool in the hands of a skilled sorcerer or wizard. The ability to create any non-magical object within a desired size range is incredibly versatile, allowing for quick solutions to a variety of problems. However, the casting time of one minute can be a hindrance in fast-paced situations, and the need for expensive and specific materials may limit its frequent use.

Some critics argue that the creation of any object, regardless of complexity, may detract from the realism and immersion of the game world. Additionally, the spell's lack of limitation on the types of objects that can be created may lead to players abusing its power or exploiting the rules.

Ultimately, # Creation remains a highly sought-after spell among arcane spellcasters, with its potential uses limited only by the creativity and resourcefulness of the user.
