AR: (CJ) Create water

Create water: Hydration on Demand
Create water is a conjuration routine that uses magic to mimic mundane liquids, primarily water. Magic can exactly match any non-magical form of liquid, though other liquids are their own skills. Learning the spell is usually done through a form of modified Objective Extrapolation (OE).

At its most basic, Skill Rating 1 (after OE), the magician can create room-temperature pure but temporary water. At a Skill Rating of 1-10, the water will last about 30 seconds. A 30-second cast will have the water created at the beginning of the spell beginning to disappear just as the conjuration concludes.

Increased skill rating in Create water can increase the size and intensity of the synthetic liquid. The range is always short, and usually in form of stream, akin to a pour. Skill points generally scale at ounce-per-second, so a Rating-1 skill produces at 1 ounce per second, or just shy of a gallon a minute. At Rating-10, that's a bit over 9 gallons a minute, or roughly a weak garden hose.

It is possible for a magician to produce water that is created under pressure.

Create water is a prerequisite skill for other water-based conjuration routines, such as Ice Storm.

The usual Conjuration decay rate is applicable to the Create water routine. Each range of duration is the maximum for that casting group, though it may be extinguished at will by the caster.

Rods of Water
While individual casting is the purest, most fundamental form of the spell, there are ways of maximizing conjuration rate by enchantment engineers that can be folded into specialized devices. These non-trivial, equipment-based techniques can triple, quadruple or more how much water is produced versus approximate spell rating used.

This specialized appliance is generally larger than a wand, often 18-36 inches in length to multiply output (or what falls into the "rod" length).

A Rod of Water can be indispensable for cleaning, saving water in sanitation, construction with near-instant curing concrete and especially in fire fighting.
