Can I destroy water in a body? 🤔
Much more powerful in 3.5, where salt was worth as much as silver for some reason. And it was a trade good, meaning it’s worth the same right next to the ocean where salt is plentiful as it is far away from it when there’s no trading route available.
If you really want to make this powerful, presumably if there’s more water there you just destroy some of it, so destroy only the hydroxide ions and make a Coulomb explosion with the power of an antimatter bomb.
A 9th level casting of the spell could create up to about 112.5gp if we go with the 3.5e economy(which doesn’t have this spell, anyways), or only just over 1gp going off the 5e economy(it takes about 4 gallons of seawater per lb of salt, and you can purify 90 gallons casting at 9th level).
It’s really not that good. Sure if you’re level 20 and use all of your spell slots on it it’s a decent sum of gold… but you’re also level 20. Go rob a bank or something.
The real LPT is to remove water from cider to make an intensely apple flavored spirit without muting its flavors with heat.
Then sell the liquor to nobles and inflated prices without ever revealing the production method

Well? What happens next? The story was just getting good! Suddenly all the salt dried up and people are inexplicably dying, nearly a hundred a month. What is causing this? What happens now? Does the fact that the entire town is built on a demolished holy site have something to do with it? How does the PC respond?
The full version used to be on 1d4chan before it went down.
This PDF has the ending I’m familiar with.
