Can Create or Destroy Water destroy a Fog Cloud or fog from a Cloudkill spell?
As per
Create or Destroy Water's description:
you destroy fog in a 30-foot cube within range
Therefore, since
Cloudkill and
Fog Cloud are both considered fog,
Create or Destroy Water can destroy a 30-foot cube of the fog.
Note: both
Fog Cloud and
Cloudkill produces a 20-foot radius sphere of fog, so casting
Create or Destroy Water at level 1 would not remove the other cloud spells entirely - although it is up to the DM whether the clouds disperse or remains in certain areas.
To verify, on twitter, Jeremy Crawford stated:
Create or destroy water—the spell can destroy a 30-foot cube of fog. Fog cloud creates fog. CorDW can destroy a 30-foot cube of it.
Other Planes and Effects
Below is information about this spell as it relates to other planes and area of effects (i.e. underwater). Some of the information is pulled official D&D sources (such as books and the twitter feeds of D&D officials), but other information is derived from forums and online discussions. As always, it is up to the DM to decide how they wish to handle spell effects.
Underwater - Verbal Component
Official rules have been verified by Jeremy Crawford - "No rule prohibits verbal components from working underwater. Keep in mind that if you're talking, you're not holding your breath." Hence, while submerged underwater and holding its breath, a creature can cast a spell that requires a verbal component. After casting the spell, if the creature can't breathe underwater, it immediately runs out of breath. The creature can survive for a number of rounds equal to its Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 round).
