To effect the spell, the initial end of the affected area must touch the shoreline or bank of the water to be crossed. Although the spell eliminates all moisture, so that travellers won't be bogged down in mud, there's no change made to the actual terrain underlying the water. Thus, the spell might expose cliffs, impassable stone walls or huge boulders and stones — as well as gravel and sand.

The held water can be freely touched or sampled without breaking the spell, as the water won't break its constraint until the spell's duration has ended.

Additionally, the water is not "dammed" by the spell, causing rivers and streams to back up; instead, the usual flow of water is transferred from one side of the path to the other, so that outside the spell's effect, a river or current flows normally.
