Creativity = Killing everyone by taking great liberties in interpreting spells
Why canโt I destroy all the water in a humanโs body?
How about Enlarge Spell with Create Water to kill them with the entire weight of an Olympic sized swimming pool falling onto them from 20 feet in the air?

Assuming a level 20 druid, youโd have 32 slots 1 or above, 2 gallons per caster level so 40 gallons per cast, thatโs 1,280 gallons per day or however fast you can regain spells. A bit shy of half a million gallons in a year. A particularly long-lived elf could destroy 280 million gallons before keeling over.
Now it depends how big the world youโre on is, but if itโs earth-like, the smallest ocean on earth isโฆ 4.9 quintillion gallons.
4,900,000,000,000,000,000
So while you wouldnโt make a dent, a character with an irrational war against the ocean is hilarious and you should do it anyway.

could i just kinda put a stick on the mouth of a bag of holding and throw it in the ocean? (the stick is for keeping it open)
then i could throw a bunch of those in the ocean, and itโll at least help destroy it.
if this works like i think it does, iโll get something that lets me craft bags of holding, and iโll just spend the rest of every day (after casting destroy water) crafting bags of holding to throw into the ocean
also, donโt worry about age. i am going to become a lich like someone suggested, so that i can just stay there, destroying the ocean very, very slowly, forever.
and please correct me if anything i said isnโt possible!

Bags of holding are not infinitely sized, just big

For the amount of money youโd waste throwing bags into the ocean, youโd probably be better off hiring people to cast destroy water.

@SkyezOpen I think I miss a reference because I don't see any connection, sorry
Goblin slayer reference. Someone does that to kill a big bad with water pressure.

i will get to a level where i have as many slots of destroy water as possible, and i will spend the rest of my life casting destroy water on the ocean, until it is completely dry. is that something iโd be able to do, or is that not possible? (i play pathfinder, not d&d, so i donโt know)
After awhile, Poseiden comes and kicks your ass until you stop. Live by the magic sword, die by the magic sword.

cast Gate on the bottom of the ocean
20ft wide portal to whatever other plane you want to dump the ocean in
at the bottom of the mariana trench youโd get some 200,000,000 gallons per minute through that sucker
itโll still take more than 3 million years (per very naive, optimistic napkin math) to drain all the oceans but you can probably find other people to join your mad ocean destruction cult over that time and get things going in parallel
the real question is: where are you putting all this water

oh i only hate the <whatever the common planet in D&D is>'s ocean, so i can just throw the water anywhere. i guess itโd be funny to throw it somewhere dry, though. so soke desert plane or whatever

Most liquid in a human is not water and a human is not an open container.
Create Water cannot create water in midair, and I donโt think Enlarge/Reduce can target a blob of liquid. If you did manage to do this (ie. Create Water into a tub above the enemy, enlarge/reduce it (assuming the water would enlarge too), and dump it on the enemy, you could probably rule it as the same effect as a Tidal Wave spell if you want it to work that way. Youโd need a lot of water though.

Salt is worth 5cp per pound in D&D 2025 (a source)
I wouldnโt lose my salt over that.
