Ralstorphine's Refreshing Draught


What's it called? Ralstorphine's Refreshing Draught (RRD for short)

What does it do? It brings into being a cup filled with ginger beer, which you can then proceed to consume. It tastes delicious! Besides, I imagine you could use the cup for when you are in need of any container (like if you want to try the herbal tea at the shed before the hedge maze).

Where is it? This is one of the new hedge wizard spells that lies lurking within the bark-encrusted covers of the Pracktical Hedgecrafte volume, in Skund.

What does it require? It is component-free!

What skills do I need? water, evoking, summoning

Has it worked? Well, if you find a cup with ginger beer in your hands, the answer is yes. The casting messages look like this:

cast Ralstorphine's Refreshing Draught

You prepare to cast Ralstorphine's Refreshing Draught.

> Reaching into the rivers that flow between the planes we know, you spin a tendril of water into a hovering orb.

Recalling adventures in summer meadows, you infuse the hovering orb of water with the essence of leaf and spice.

Remembering that you need something to put the drink in, you reach into the crockery dimension and grab the first thing you see, holding it out for the liquid to fall into.

Your driftwood grey cup of ginger beer quivers gently and falls still.

Notes: 

What does the cup and the drink look like:

l cup

This sturdy driftwood grey stoneware cup is gently rounded to fit in the hand, and large enough to quench almost anyone's thirst.  The glossy surface has been decorated with a stylized pattern of blossoms.

It is in excellent condition.

The driftwood grey cup of ginger beer is completely full with one cup of ginger beer.

It is completely full.

l beer in cup

This is about one cup of sparkling golden ginger beer.  Despite the name, it contains no alcohol whatsoever, which has confused many a rural youth more used to ginger wine.

Each cup will have a different colour. I was misled by my first two cups, which produced different shades of grey (driftwood grey and raindrop grey). Third one was deep brown. I imagine you go through all available colors, like those for inks.

The help file also gives a interesting warning about what can happen if you don't have enough summoning skills for the spell. I haven't failed it, but I'd guess you might get the cup going away instantly, perhaps with the ginger beer falling on your clothes.
