This spell extracts water from dead matter, such as dead animals or picked plants. Using this on food, its usability can be increased and volume/weight can be reduced. Duration is 2 months but damp conditions can reduce this. To make food edible, it has to be immersed in water for about 30 minutes. (This time period is not necessary for dried apples, raisins, or similar.) Cooking can reduce immersion time further. The spell can dehydrate an equivalent of a hare or a small marten.
