Featured: Control Weather Spell

There are many mixed feelings about control weather being the worst 8th level spell. Basically, you can control how the weather functions, eg: make it boiling hot, start a storm, or etc. But in what circumstances would you use it? here's a few examples:

• Strike a castle with lightning? (you actually can't even do that!)
• make heavy hail fall on an approaching enemy army (wimpy... "Oh no, its hailing, we surrender!")
• Call in fog? (good, but not 8th level)
• Make the conditions in a desert colder so your party doesn't wake up to a dead NPC who suffered from heat stroke each morning? Deal with it.
• I can't think of anything else.

So there you go, that's what you can do. well that's not all, but why would you care if its foggy, or cloudy in D&D?

so over all, we have decided that it should be a 4th level spell, because it is -almost- completely useless.

EXCEPT!!!! Every 20 or so minutes ya get to slowly change its conditions from ok to WORSE. THATS RIGHT! You don't just get to change the weather by one tick on the chart per 8th level spell slot, (Which is pretty godlike to begin with,) but you can do it every 20 or so minutes. NEW IDEAS!!!!!!!
