Curdle is a cantrip that transforms a quart of various liquids, including milk, beer and mead, so that it becomes clotted or coagulated, or separated into curds and lumps.

In some cases, this ruins the taste of the drink and renders it useless. However, it's worth noting that curdling milk can actually be advantageous, as it can expedite the cheese-making process. It's also useful in affecting other liquids in a positive manner, which can be useful in certain concoctions and magical research.

The cantrip can be used to nullify the enchantments imbued within magical potions, but there's a crucial caveat: it must be cast before the potion is consumed. This magical intervention can effectively thwart the effects of both toxic and cursed potions.

Ingeniously, it can also serve as a means to create a diversion by sabotaging a patron's drink, inevitably sparking fury and a conflict between the affected individual and the establishment's owner.
