    Spell to create a false duplicate of an object. This is something that magicky types do a lot in stories. I made a homebrew that transformed a particular type of gem into a duplicate of a nearby object of no higher value (disregarding magical powers) than the gem. The duplicate obviously didn't have any magical properties of the original. It otherwise was the same.
    If you cast Dispel Magic on my Gust of Wind, does that mean you're disgusting?

    In real estate, they say it's all about location, location, location. In D&D I say it's about action economy, action economy, action economy.

    2e had rules for a magical vending machine that I'm fairly sure could dispense Coca-Cola. It was sentient and evil, but that's beside the point.

Or putting the properties from a new magical weapon onto your ancestral sword.

    At best, I would make a spell that could switch all the magical properties of one weapon with another of at least masterwork quality, since stacking the properties of two weapons together in the same weapon would result in a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

    We also have Create Acid, because when you drink Coke you're drinking acid.

    Makes you think, dunnit?

    So just cast Create Acid, mix it with a bit of water, then cast Prestidigitation for the taste (eugh) and the carbonation (also eugh).

    Yes. It makes me think that you're also drinking acid when you drink orange juice or grape juice or when you eat anything with vinegar in it. I think those are all more acidic. I'm more worried about the sugar. I'm a big fan of seltzer water which is similarly acidic but without the sugar.
    If you cast Dispel Magic on my Gust of Wind, does that mean you're disgusting?

    This makes a scary amount of sense.

    But doesn't the acid deal 1d3 damage? I don't think Presti can get past that.

    But it's the closest you'll get.
