Wellspring

Effect: Creates a permanent source of water
Range: Touch
Defense: NA
Cost: 1*
The caster places their hand upon the ground, and causes water to bubble up from deep under the earth. This new well will last for one year for each point of pool pledged. Note that this pledge is permanent until the spell expires or is cancelled by the caster, at which time the caster gets it back.
As with create water the wellspring produces the best tasting water the imbiber has ever tasted, and will nourish crops like no other.
Also note that enterprising mages have learned that if you have a large enough body of earth inside a ship or space station the spell will work. Fill that extra hold in hydroponics with a bunch of soil, make sure its at least 2 meters deep, then cast the spell. Boom, water on a ship.
