You can’t take it with you. “Animate” doesn’t cover moving it (think of animation as just a succession of new shapings in-place), and there is an explicit limit of 5 feet in the first bullet for how far you can move the water.
Can you use shape water on blood?
Blood in the body is not generally visible. Either way, blood isn’t water (isn’t it thicker?), and you can’t see it so that shape water won’t be used with blood. There are no rules for the Creative Use of Spells. However, it is up to your DM if he allows this.
How do you use Cantrips?
A cantrip is a spell that can be cast at will, without using a spell slot and without being prepared in advance. Repeated practice has fixed the spell in the caster’s mind and infused the caster with the magic needed to produce the Effect over and over. A cantrip’s Spell Level is 0.
What’s the best way to make a water Cantrip?
Twinked – make a flying 5’ anvil and have fun for a game. If you get a lot of water, just make a bumpy cylinder or ball and bounce it around. Any weight trap will be set off, but note that unless the shape is ‘hard’ it won’t trigger any tripwires.
What are the limitations to using the shape water?
You freeze the water, provided that there are no creatures in it. The water unfreezes in 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
Can a shape water spell be used offensively?
Shape Water cannot be used offensively… unless the DM allows it. In the D&D 5E system, it is assumed that spells, and most other game mechanics, do only what the rules say they do. If a spell’s description does not mention some effect (such as being used for damage or utility), then as far as the rules are concerned, the spell cannot do it.
What’s the best way to use shape water?
The most obvious way to use Shape Water offensively is to drop something heavy on a creature. A 5-foot cube of ice weighs just under 7,800 pounds. For comparison, a typical sedan weighs somwhere around 3500 pounds. Consider dropping two of them on top of someone without the advantage of “crumple sections”.
