Create Spring

Calling upon elemental energies the caster sprinkles the gem dust and taps the ground with their rod or staff, creating a spring of water coming up from the earth. This spring will produce water at the rate of 1 gallon per minute. The water being produced by this spell is not being created, but rather being pulled up from the underground water table. If the region is too dry, or the water table is too deep (more than about 200 feet down) then this spell will fail.

The quality of the water coming from the spring is only as good as the nearest underground source of water. If nearby water sources are salty, brackish, or polluted the water coming from the spring may not be safe to drink.

The spring will continue to produce water at this rate until such point as the aquifer that it is pulling water from dries out, or the pressure of water above the spring becomes to high. (if the spring has filled a well or created a small lake it will not be able to pull any more until the water level above drops to below about 6 feet deep.) 

At Higher Levels. When cast at higher levels the rate of water flow increases, producing 1 additional gallon per minute for each spell level used above 2nd, and the depth of the aquifer that the spell can reach also increases by up to another 200 feet deep per level. Due to the increased pressure the depth of water above the spring that it can support also increases by an additional 1 foot per level above 2nd. (A 5th level created spring would produce 4 gallons of water per minute and could fill a well or lake up to 9 feet deep.)
