To cast the spell, the initial end of the passage must begin at a shoreline or riverbank, ensuring a natural point of entry. The spell removes all residual moisture, preventing travelers from sinking into mud or silt, but it does not alter the underlying terrain. Any exposed cliffs, rock formations, deep chasms or impassable surfaces remain obstacles, requiring careful navigation.
The displaced water remains stable, allowing for safe interaction — it can be touched, collected or tested without disrupting the spell's effect. The water itself does not behave as though it is dammed, meaning flowing bodies of water continue their movement. This water can be entered at will. In the case of rivers and streams, the spell redirects the current from one side of the path to the other, ensuring that water beyond the spell's influence continues to flow normally without causing a backup or flood.
Effect on Creatures & Others
Fish and other aquatic creatures are pushed aside with the displaced water and will not be caught within the parted area. However, larger sea creatures are not restricted from breaching the surface, allowing them to enter the exposed passage if they choose. Burrows, coral formations and other stationary underwater structures remain in place, with any cavities left empty of water but otherwise unchanged.
If the spell's duration expires while travellers are still within the passage, the water collapses instantly, restoring the body of water to its original state. Anything within the path at that moment will be fully submerged unless they reach the shore in time.
