If I cut someone do they count as an open container?
If someone opens their mouth do they count as an open container?
Nope, people are tubes, not containers
Yeah, people are like these tubes specifically.
That explains why water falls straight through
A tub with a plugged drain is the bottom is a container. Anyone wearing a buttplug is therefore a container.
Their intestines might, but not their lungs. Lungs are more liek a sponge
i can use create/destroy water on blood to get iron for my weapons?
Bloodplasma is mostly water, but blood is only about 55% plasma. Unsurprisingly, your blood actually has a LOT of stuff in it, like red blood cells.
Unless you want to count water in cells, but that would do the stuff that the spell doesn’t do.
If it destroys water you have ions destroyed with the solution so no salt. Because it’s a part of the water. If you did destroy the water then you would get sodium and chloride plasma because it’s ionized.
The plasma is why the magic glows.
i will get to a level where i have as many slots of destroy water as possible, and i will spend the rest of my life casting destroy water on the ocean, until it is completely dry. is that something i’d be able to do, or is that not possible? (i play pathfinder, not d&d, so i don’t know)
Assuming a level 20 druid, you’d have 32 slots 1 or above, 2 gallons per caster level so 40 gallons per cast, that’s 1,280 gallons per day or however fast you can regain spells. A bit shy of half a million gallons in a year. A particularly long-lived elf could destroy 280 million gallons before keeling over.
Now it depends how big the world you’re on is, but if it’s earth-like, the smallest ocean on earth is… 4.9 quintillion gallons.
4,900,000,000,000,000,000
So while you wouldn’t make a dent, a character with an irrational war against the ocean is hilarious and you should do it anyway.
wait wait wait
could i just kinda put a stick on the mouth of a bag of holding and throw it in the ocean? (the stick is for keeping it open)
then i could throw a bunch of those in the ocean, and it’ll at least help destroy it.
if this works like i think it does, i’ll get something that lets me craft bags of holding, and i’ll just spend the rest of every day (after casting destroy water) crafting bags of holding to throw into the ocean
also, don’t worry about age. i am going to become a lich like someone suggested, so that i can just stay there, destroying the ocean very, very slowly, forever.
and please correct me if anything i said isn’t possible!
cast Gate on the bottom of the ocean
20ft wide portal to whatever other plane you want to dump the ocean in
at the bottom of the mariana trench you’d get some 200,000,000 gallons per minute through that sucker
it’ll still take more than 3 million years (per very naive, optimistic napkin math) to drain all the oceans but you can probably find other people to join your mad ocean destruction cult over that time and get things going in parallel
the real question is: where are you putting all this water
oh i only hate the <whatever the common planet in D&D is>'s ocean, so i can just throw the water anywhere. i guess it’d be funny to throw it somewhere dry, though. so soke desert plane or whatever
For the amount of money you’d waste throwing bags into the ocean, you’d probably be better off hiring people to cast destroy water.
oh wait yeah that’s an amazing idea
Bags of holding are not infinitely sized, just big
aw i’m sad now
After awhile, Poseiden comes and kicks your ass until you stop. Live by the magic sword, die by the magic sword.
oh don’t worry i’m sure there are a bunch of gods that are against slowly destroy watering the entire ocean

Salt is worth 5cp per pound in D&D 2025 (a source)
I wouldn’t lose my salt over that.
