Thunderheads form on the horizon and race across the sky, bringing with them curtains of rain and slashing lightning.
Control Weather is a 14th-level ritual.[PH2:214]
You change the weather outside in a 2-mile radius centered on you. The change is limited by the current season. Choose from the options below based on the season.
| Season | Weather Results |
|---|---|
| Spring | Heat wave, sleet storm, or thunderstorm |
| Summer | Hailstorm, heat wave, or rainstorm |
| Autumn | Cold snap, fog, sleet, or windstorm |
| Winter | Blizzard, windstorm, or thaw |
You control the weather’s general tendencies, such as the direction and intensity of the wind or the degree of obscurity from fog, hail, rain, and snow. You cannot control specific applications of the weather, such as where lightning strikes. You can alter the weather among the available options as a standard action for the duration of the ritual, which is determined by your Nature check. Each time you choose to change the weather result, the new weather conditions take 10 minutes to manifest.
| Nature Check Result | Duration |
|---|---|
| 19 or lower | 2 hours |
| 20–29 | 4 hours |
| 30–39 | 16 hours |
| 40 or higher | 24 hours |
