Level: Druid 5, Sorcerer 6, Wizard 6,

Target: One creature
Duration: Concentration
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell fills the breathing passages of the targeted creature with water. You can keep this spell targeted upon a single creature for as long as you maintain concentration upon it. The target is entitled to a Fortitude save. On a successful save, the target is staggered for 1 round but succeeds in clearing its body of the conjured water. It suffers no more effect from the spell, which ends. On a failed save, the target does not clear out the water and must make a Constitution check each round (DC 10 + 1 for each round after the first) or begin to drown (see The Drowning Rule in the Dungeon Master's Guide). The target remains staggered until the spell ends or it drowns.
This spell is ineffective against creatures that do not breathe (constructs, some elementals and plants, and undead), or those who can breathe water. A creature under the effect of drown must make a DC 25 Concentration check to cast a spell, and cannot cast spells with verbal (V) components or use abilities that require speech.
Material Component: A sea shell.
