On the round you cast it, and as an action on subsequent turns until the spell ends, you can choose one of the following effects. When you choose a different effect, the current one ends.\n\n* **Flood:** The standing water level rises by up to 20 feet. The flood water spills onto land if the area includes a shore, but when the area is in a large body of water you instead create a 20-foottall wave. The wave travels across the area and crashes down, carrying Huge or smaller vehicles to the other side, each of which has a 25% chance of capsizing. The wave repeats on the start of your next turn while this effect continues.\n* **Part Water:** You create a 20-foot wide trench spanning the area with walls of water to either side. When this effect ends, the trench slowly refills over the course of the next round.\nRedirect Flow: Flowing water in the area moves in a direction you choose, including up. Once the water moves beyond the spell's area, it resumes its regular flow based on the terrain.\n* **Whirlpool:** If the affected body of water is at least 50 feet square and 25 feet deep, a whirlpool forms within the area in a 50-foot wide cone that is 25 feet long. Creatures and objects that are in the area and within 25 feet of the whirlpool make an Athletics check against your spell save DC or are pulled 10 feet toward it. Once within the whirlpool, checks made to swim out of it have disadvantage. When a creature first enters the whirlpool on a turn or starts its turn there, it makes a Strength saving throw or takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and is pulled into the center of the whirlpool. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn't pulled.","level":4,"higher_level":"","target_type":"area","range_text":"120 feet","range":120,"ritual":false,"casting_time":"action","reaction_condition":null,"verbal":true,"somatic":true,"material":true,"material_specified":"","material_cost":null,"material_consumed":false,"target_count":1,"saving_throw_ability":"strength","attack_roll":false,"damage_roll":"2d8","damage_types":["bludgeoning"],"duration":"10 minutes","shape_type":"cone","shape_size":50,"concentration":true,"crossreferences":{"to":[]}},{"key":"a5e-ag_circular-breathing","document":{"name":"Adventurer's Guide","key":"a5e-ag","type":"SOURCE","display_name":"Adventurer's Guide","publisher":{"name":"EN Publishing","key":"en-publishing"},"gamesystem":{"name":"Advanced 5th Edition","key":"a5e"},"permalink":"https://a5esrd.com/a5esrd"},"casting_options":[{"type":"default","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_5","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"10 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_6","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"10 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_7","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"10 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_8","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"10 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_9","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"10 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_10","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"10 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_11","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"30 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_12","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"30 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_13","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"30 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_14","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"30 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_15","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"30 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_16","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"30 minutes","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_17","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"1 hour","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_18","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"1 hour","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_19","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"1 hour","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"player_level_20","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":"1 hour","range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null}],"school":{"name":"Transmutation","key":"transmutation"},"classes":[],"range_unit":"feet","shape_size_unit":"feet","name":"Circular Breathing","desc":"You begin carefully regulating your breath so that you can continue playing longer or keep breathing longer in adverse conditions.\n\nUntil the spell ends, you can breathe underwater, and you can utilize bardic performances that would normally require breathable air.

(This enchantment is useful against any armored creature, not just dragons.)\n\nOne creature of your choice within range that has natural armor must make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, attacks against that creature’s Armor Class are made with advantage, and the creature can’t regain hit points through any means while the spell remains in effect. An affected creature can end the spell by making a successful Constitution saving throw, which also makes the creature immune to further castings of **scale rot** for 24 hours.\n","level":4,"higher_level":"When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the number of affected targets increases by one for each slot level above 4th.","target_type":"creature","range_text":"30 feet","range":30,"ritual":false,"casting_time":"action","reaction_condition":null,"verbal":true,"somatic":true,"material":true,"material_specified":"a piece of rotten meat","material_cost":null,"material_consumed":false,"target_count":1,"saving_throw_ability":"constitution","attack_roll":false,"damage_roll":"","damage_types":[],"duration":"1 minute","shape_type":null,"shape_size":null,"concentration":true,"crossreferences":{"to":[]}},{"key":"deepm_rotting-corpse","document":{"name":"Deep Magic for 5th Edition","key":"deepm","type":"SOURCE","display_name":"Deep Magic for 5th Edition","publisher":{"name":"Kobold Press","key":"kobold-press"},"gamesystem":{"name":"5th Edition 2014","key":"5e-2014"},"permalink":"https://koboldpress.com/kpstore/product/deep-magic-for-5th-edition-hardcover/"},"casting_options":[{"type":"default","damage_roll":null,"target_count":null,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"slot_level_3","damage_roll":null,"target_count":2,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"slot_level_4","damage_roll":null,"target_count":3,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"slot_level_5","damage_roll":null,"target_count":4,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"slot_level_6","damage_roll":null,"target_count":5,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"slot_level_7","damage_roll":null,"target_count":6,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"slot_level_8","damage_roll":null,"target_count":7,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null},{"type":"slot_level_9","damage_roll":null,"target_count":8,"duration":null,"range":null,"concentration":null,"shape_size":null,"desc":null}],"school":{"name":"Necromancy","key":"necromancy"},"classes":[],"range_unit":"feet","shape_size_unit":"feet","name":"Rotting Corpse","desc":"Your familiarity with the foul effects of death allows you to prevent a dead body from being returned to life using anything but the most powerful forms of magic.\n\nYou cast this spell by touching a creature that died within the last 24 hours.
