This spell transforms any liquid that is prima-
rily water (even fouled water) into sparkling,
gently glowing laughing water that is sweet to the
taste and very satisfying. The amount transformed
can be any volume of water no larger than the
caster’s head.
Imbibing even a single drop of laughing waier
banishes all weariness for a day, and exhausted
creatures that drink it become alert and energetic.
Swallowing a mouthful cures insanity, blindness,
and disease and instantly destroys monster and
animal internal parasites and their eggs. Moreover,
the drinker is rendered immune to all of these
perils for 24 hours from the moment of swallow-
ing. A double amount of laughing waier can be
substituted for holy water in all uses and rituals of
the Eldathyn and other good human faiths.
This water is named for another benefit. If
laughing waier is splashed on any being that is
