A blindingly bright orb appears at a point within range, rising 120 ft. into the sky and baking everything in a 60 ft. cylinder beneath it. Sources of water that are not in a sealed container are destroyed at a rate of 20 gallons per round. Additionally, tiny plants wilt and die after 1 round, small plants after 3 rounds, medium after 5, large after 7, and huge after 9.
Creatures ending their turn in this zone take 1 point of exhaustion, per round. This exhaustion can be prevented if the creature drinks 1 quart of water on their turn. Curing this exhaustion requires 1 hour and 1 quart of water, per point.
Any creatures in this zone who have received exhaustion, also become Vulnerable to any source of Fire damage (unless they already have immunity to fire damage) while they are in the area of effect.
