Mordenkainen's Magical Vessel
Effect
You conjure a fine, seaworthy ship, ready to carry you and your companions safely and comfortably. The vessel created is similar in size and design to a caravel, a double-decked sailing ship.
This magical ship offers a spacious cargo hold and comfortable accommodations for both crew and passengers, thanks to an extradimensional space. You can designate individuals authorized to enter the space, accessible through a hatch on the aft upper deck. When you enter, the portal closes and becomes invisible.
The extradimensional space is like a grand foyer with many staterooms opening from it. The atmosphere is pleasant, clean, and warm. You have the freedom to design the ship's layout within the limits of the spell's effect. The cabins are furnished, and the galley is stocked with enough food and cooking equipment to serve three meals per day per person per caster level.
You can also conjure near-transparent pursers, up to two per caster level, who serve passengers in visible form and can move freely within the extradimensional space, functioning like visible unseen servants.
The weather and conditions outside do not affect the passenger space, making it a haven of tranquility. However, external hazards can still threaten the vessel itself. Even if the ship sinks, the passenger space remains safe and isolated, although exiting it might be challenging.
The ship is partially crewed by spectral deckhands, reducing the need for a large living crew. These spectral crewmembers perform basic maintenance tasks and follow the helmsman's orders. If no helmsman is provided, the ship will continue on its last course but won't be able to navigate hazards or changing conditions.
This spell is a powerful conjuration, creating a temporary, luxurious vessel for your adventures at sea, offering comfort, safety, and capable spectral assistance.
