Control Weather
Spell, Elemental Magic, level 7
Imposes one of four weather conditions (clear, monsoon, blizzard or drought) over a wide region for a week or more.
From the book
The caster imposes one of four weather patterns across as much as 10x10 miles, cast at a range of 1,000 ft. Clear brings mild, cloudless weather at 60 plus 1-20 degrees. Monsoon brings soaking rains that slow all movement by 50%. Blizzard fills the air with whirling snow, cutting visibility to 10-40 ft. Drought bakes the land at 100 plus 1-20 degrees Fahrenheit.
The weather holds for 1 week or until dispelled, and each level of ability adds another day. No save applies.

A scene
The yam fields of Salawati had cracked open in a drought that had lasted all summer, and the elders begged the druid for rain. Pua gave them a monsoon. It rolled in off the sea that evening and did not stop: warm, gray, drenching rain that filled every ditch, floated the pig pens and slowed every errand on the island to a wet slog. It would last well over a week. The farmers danced in it the first night. By the fifth day they were grumbling. By the ninth they were asking the druid, very politely, whether she could please make it stop.
