Hello there magic practitioners of all shapes and sizes! Welcome to my spellbook and thank you for checking out the eighth installment in our cantrip series dnd 5e druidcraft spell. This spell is only usable by the druid class and anyone with access to their spellbook and it is found in the player’s handbook and is quite frankly a staple for the class. Now let’s take a quick look at some mechanics here.
Mechanics
- Level: Cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range/Area: 30 ft
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
- School: Transmutation
- Attack/Save: None
- Damage/Effect: Control
Cast time one action, range is a measly 30 feet. The duration is instantaneous and the effect is essentially one of fuller just breaking a down point from here. First predict the weather, second cause plant growth, third make a harmless sensory effect. So long as it fits within a five-foot cube and or to extinguish the small flame.
The components are somatic and verbal meaning and not only do you have to gesture but you have to speak lean tentation as well and the school is unsurprisingly transmutation. Now let’s take a look at the full description here so that we can know what is druidcraft in d&d.
Description
Whispering to the spirits of nature, you create one of the following effects within range: You create a tiny, harmless sensory effect that predicts what the weather will be at your location for the next 24 hours. The effect might manifest as a golden orb for clear skies, a cloud for rain, falling snowflakes for snow, and so on.
This effect persists for 1 round. You instantly make a flower blossom, a seed pod open, or a leaf bud bloom. You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as falling leaves, a puff of wind, the sound of a small animal, or the faint odor of skunk. The effect must fit in a 5-foot cube. And lastly you instantly light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
So yeah is druidcraft worth it? yeas it is so much useful and of course it depends on your campaign and all honesty. On a seafaring voyage for example the ability to predict the weather there we go might come in handy quite a bit. On a seafaring voyage i could see this spell in general doing quite well. In addition to that it’s kind of the druid version or prestidigitation. That being said, well let’s get into some alternative uses here.
Alternative Uses
So immediately what comes to my mind is making the fruit ripen so that your party can eat a consequence free. I think this would be a great great use of it. And another interesting use of using that gust of wind that harmless sensory effect to float documents out the window vital documents. You could also use the sound or even the smell and some degrees to matt to give the impression that it creatures around such as a snake.
When it’s really not this could be used to strike fear into enemies or even just serve as a diversion. Certainly your creativity is the limit when it comes to this spell.
