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.
