What can the Creation spell actually make?


Rules Questions


Okay,so the Creation Spell makes a "nonmagical, nontechnological, unattended object of nonliving matter." and gives some item level and materials restrictions.

So...
No magical or hybrid items ("nonmagical").
No biotech ("nonliving").
And it also has to be "nontechnological".

So...I can put up a fake wall with the one minute casting time. Probably chairs and tables and things... but basically everything with an item level is going to fall into one of those three forbidden categories, isn't it? What can I actually make with this spell?


Okay, so...
Medicinals should be valid: They don't seem to be what the game considers technological or magical items, and they have a level.
Weapons and armor with the Analog property, likewise.

Food and Drink? (Maybe, maybe not: No item level)
Trade Goods? (Same issue).
Personal Items? Some are clearly technolog,some clearly not, others seem borderline.

Is there anything from that list that would actually be worth the spell slot and casting time at the level you get it? A Vaccine as a 1st level item at tenth when you get Creation as a 4th level spell gives +6 on saves vs. some specific disease. An Antibiotic, +4 for 2 days vs. whatever disease. At 13th for a 5th level slot those are +10 and +8 for 5 months and 10 days, respectively... which is, admittedly, nearly immunity... but it's a fifth level spell known when you get two of those.

Creation Spell sez: . . . "you can’t create a consumable item."

Ah. So no medicinals or food. Okay. Given the casting time... how often will there actually be a useful the spell? Is it a trap option?

Side note: Using a OotS avatar, huh? Nifty.
