You change the weather in the target space. Typical changes to the weather are described below; other effects might be possible, with the Sage’s consent and with effects determined by the Sage. • The temperature climbs until unprotected creatures in the area become affected by exposure. The increase in heat causes snow and ice to melt after a few minutes, and steam creates moderate obscurement in all spaces containing the melting snow and ice for 1 hour. The sudden appearance of liquid water might cause flooding, as the Sage decides. • The temperature drops until unprotected creatures in the area become affected by exposure. The increase in cold causes liquid water to freeze and precipitation to fall as snow or ice. The sudden temperature change could cause containers that hold liquid to burst. • Heavy clouds gather above you and release precipitation in a form suitable for the season. You determine the intensity of the precipitation, from a gentle mist to a torrential downpour. Falling snow and ice might create areas of challenging terrain, and heavy rain can cause flooding. • A storm rages through the area, causing heavy rain, hail, wind, lightning, and thunder. While you can see the storm, you can use an action to call down a bolt of lightning to strike a creature or object you can see. The target takes 5d6 damage and makes an Agility roll. On a failure, it takes an extra 5d6 damage. After you call down the lightning, you can do so again after 1d6 minutes. • You cause strong wind to blow through the area. The wind might uproot trees, flatten wooden structures, and make travel in the area impossible, as you choose. • You can create clouds in the sky or remove them. You can shape the clouds so that they look like castles, creatures, or even words. You can change the color of the sky, make it seem as if the stars have changed position, or dim the light of the sun so that it appears eclipsed. You can make the moon appear in any phase you choose.
