Description: Casting this spell causes water to transmogrify
to blood. Nearby Rivers Run Red
with blood. Some scholars and casters prefer
to call this spell “Transmogrify Water to
Blood,” but this reference is incorrect; there
are many instances of water that will not
transmogrify to blood, such as the water in
the body of a character. The range of this
spell is that it affects merely rivers and
streams closest to the caster at the time of
casting. The affected area is determined by
the level of the caster. Consult the table
