Wilt (cantrip).jpg

Wilt is a cantrip that induces a state of desiccation in living plants, causing them to lose their vitality, droop, and wither due to water loss or natural ailments. Once the cantrip is employed, cut plants that are normally preserved in water, like the one depicted in the example, will perish within a day.

For plants rooted in soil, there is a 25% chance of recovery and survival, with the remaining 75% facing a terminal fate. Additionally, the cantrip also causes any fruit on the vine to wither and become inedible. When directed at growth pods, there is a 75% probability of preventing them from developing into new plants, effectively terminating their growth.

In the case of animated plants such as treants, strangleweed, shriekers, violet fungus and similar creatures, the cantrip inflicts 1-4 hit points of damage upon them, diminishing their vitality.

Wilt can be used as a means to dry out cubic yards of flower petals for the purpose of making perfume, leaves for making tea, the creation of potpourri and as a means to prepare dyes and pigments more quickly for use in paints and ceramics. For cooking, dried herbs and spices form essential ingredients. All these, and more, can be dried out as a means to reduce the weight of the raw materials to be carried out from their source.
