-'''Dampen''' drenches all things within the area of effect so that it's thoroughly damp through and through.  Even objects protected by a container, if within the effect, is saturated by the cantrip.  However, the magic isn't sufficient to make ink run or water-damage objects — though to avoid becoming mouldy, scrolls and other fragile objects must be exposed to the air within a hour.
