Unravel (cantrip)
.jpg)
Unravel destroys tailoring, causing the stitching and weaving in clothing and baskets to fall apart. Woven or knitted material simply unwinds, reduced to individual threads and textiles. No actual material is destroyed.
| Range | 20 ft. |
| Duration | permanent |
| Area of Effect | 1 object or piece of cloth |
| Casting Time | 2 action points |
| Saving Throw | none |
| Level | cantrip |
Since only one object can be affected, the cantrip's unlikely to reduce anyone to nakedness. A careful application could induce embarrassment, nonetheless. 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.
Other Examples
Ropes can be made useless. Flags can be torn and separated from their pole, potentially lowering a troop's morale. Canvas tents can be rent open, allowing escape. The binding on thatched roofs can be shredded, allowing entry from above. Pieces of leather can be separated as the stitching is unwoven, such as with boots or gloves, causing individuals to stumble (no action for one round).
The cantrip cannot directly affect leather, and objects bound together with glue or metal rivets are immune. Paper, including papyrus, cannot be destroyed or ruined, but a scrollcase could be unwound and more easily opened.
