• Magical Item – Uncommon – Dust of Dryness – 200 gp
  • Standard: This small packet contains 1d6 + 4 pinches of dust. You can use an action to sprinkle a pinch of it over water. The dust turns a cube of water 15 feet on a side into one marble-sized pellet, which floats or rests near where the dust was sprinkled. The pellet’s weight is negligible.
  • Someone can use an action to smash the pellet against a hard surface, causing the pellet to shatter and release the water the dust absorbed. Doing so ends that pellet’s magic.
  • An elemental composed mostly of water that is exposed to a pinch of the dust must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 10d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
  • Attunement: If attuned to this item, you can increase the DC by 1.
  • Relic: If you are Human, you can increase the DC by 1. If you are Makai, you can give the elemental disadvantage on its saving throw.
