You convert raw materials into products of the same material. For example, you can fabricate a wooden bridge from a clump of trees, a rope from a patch of hemp, or clothes from flax or wool. Choose raw materials that you can see within range. You can fabricate a Large or smaller object (contained within a 10-foot Cube or eight connected 5-foot Cubes) given a sufficient quantity of material. If you're working with metal, stone, or another mineral substance, however, the fabricated object can be no larger than Medium (contained within a 5-foot Cube). The quality of any fabricated objects is based on the quality of the raw materials.

Creatures and magic items can't be created by this spell. You also can't use it to create items that require a high degree of skill—such as weapons and armor—unless you have proficiency with the type of Artisan's Tools used to craft such objects.

Fabricate 5e 2024 vs. 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version clarifies that the size limit for metal, stone, or mineral objects is a 5-foot Cube, whereas the 2014 version states a 5-foot cube but emphasizes a single cube. The 2024 version specifies that the quality of fabricated objects depends on raw material quality, while the 2014 states "commensurate." The 2024 version simplifies the restriction on skill-based items, removing specific examples like jewelry and glass.
