Would this effect your allies?

@monrester I believe so, when it says every creature this means everything no matter what. There are spells which say x number creatures of your choice in this area in which case you could choose. 

Thanks

would it bully me

I believe a sorcerer could get around it some what with sorcerer points but your allies would still take half damage if i'm not mistaken.

yikes dude that is tough

Does anyone know what the dc would be for something like this?

I believe it would be the caster's spell save dc.

 They wouldn't be able to use it, half-casters only get spells up to 5th level and this is an 8th level spell

@monrester Not if you can sculpt spells!

Why on earth does this effect fire elementals and other monsters that don't contain water?

It doesn't affect Fire Elementals, it specifically says Water Elementals. And there's really no way the 5e system can specify what creatures do and do not have Water in them. Especially when they have more expansions coming out every so often to add monsters.

No SoullessMonk, it does affect fire elementals: "Constructs and undead aren’t affected" it says nothing about fire elementals and they could have at least wrote something along the lines of; Constructs, undead and other creatures that the DM rules do not contain water (such as fire elementals).

Anyways they specifically mention one kind of elemental: "plants and water elementals make this saving throw with disadvantage" so it seems unlikely that they completely overlooked fire elementals when they wrote this spell.

By the way how does the quote tool work?
