“free” shit costs a spell slot, you know?
Free() can destroy the world. Believe me. I know. I am a C programmer.
This is why I free nothing and only malloc().

You’re sick with Java-Python Syndrome. The only cure is C++. But you’re too old to master C++ before you segfault. Muahahahahaha!
You know, my biggest gripe with python isnt abstracted memory management. My biggest grip is duck typing
Duck typing is my favourite. Pry it from my cold dead (object that appears to be hands, and probably is, but maybe isn’t).
At least it’s strongly typed as well unlike JavaScript.
duck typing
Script languages are very nice for writing pre-100-lines long listings. Where you can keep all types in your head. Consider Python uber-bash. Unsuitable for anything else, though.
Shut up and getting castin’ wizard. These biscuits ain’t gonna season themselves
i can use create/destroy water on blood to get iron for my weapons?
If it destroys water you have ions destroyed with the solution so no salt. Because it’s a part of the water. If you did destroy the water then you would get sodium and chloride plasma because it’s ionized.
Which is probably fine since, at this temperature, it will immediately convert to solid salt, albeit maybe with some impurities should some ions react with something else.

Why can’t I destroy all the water in a human’s body? 🤔
How about Enlarge Spell with Create Water to kill them with the entire weight of an Olympic sized swimming pool falling onto them from 20 feet in the air?
Most liquid in a human is not water and a human is not an open container.
Create Water cannot create water in midair, and I don’t think Enlarge/Reduce can target a blob of liquid. If you did manage to do this (ie. Create Water into a tub above the enemy, enlarge/reduce it (assuming the water would enlarge too), and dump it on the enemy, you could probably rule it as the same effect as a Tidal Wave spell if you want it to work that way. You’d need a lot of water though.
I cast destroy water on the fluid lining of his brain.
That would fall under the first part of this meme. You cannot see the fluid lining of his brain unless it is exposed in which case I feel like there’s a far easier method of murder.

I would like to submit, as a counterpoint, the Ring of X-Ray Vision from the 2014 5e basic ruleset.
Soooo… Destroy Water, please, Mr. DM.
Once again, this still falls within the first part of the meme as it violates the spells wording of “open container”. If you’re using X-Ray vision to see the brain then the brain is within a closed container.
Soooo… No, Mr. Player

Don’t forget that most bodily fluids are almost certainly not water
It wouldn’t be (instantaneous) murder though.
Oh shit, that means I can a bucket of salt into free sea water.
Could you threaten the salt vendor with that?
Salt? Wait… sea warer can also contain so much more like magnesium. A perfect component for… explosive… with water…
sea water wouldn’t be containing elemental magnesium, it would contain magnesium salts.
To me, this just raises all sorts of questions about how magic works, mechanically speaking, in this setting. Does this only work on water in a container (which is not really a thing scientifically speaking) because that’s the consensus of what practitioners believe it can do? Was the spell designed like this by its inventor?
