Unravel destroys cloth, causing the stitching and weaving in clothing and baskets to fall apart.

Unravel
Range 20 ft.
Duration permanent
Area of Effect 1 object or piece of cloth
Casting Time 2 action points
Saving Throw none
Level cantrip

Canvas tents can be rent open; thatched roofs to split; unweave the stitching on shoes, gloves and other leather; shred horsecloth while it's on the horse; and cause flags to tear and separate from their pole.

Since only one object can be affected, the cantrip's unlikely to reduce anyone to nudity. However, when cast against the chausses or hauberk worn by armoured combatants, the ruination of the protective layer AND the discomfort caused will reduce armour class by 2 pts.

The cantrip cannot directly affect leather, and objects bound together with glue or metal rivets are immune. Additionally, paper, including papyrus, cannot be destroyed by the cantrip.
