So, i hate that i've never thought of using this even though i play druid 4 times out of 5 for about 5 years, but i don't think that this would work in 5e if you're following the book. People aren't open containers in most cases
One of those things the DM is there for, I suppose. The rules as they're set up are there to help facilitate things, but shouldn't be overly relied on sometimes, either. So, the DM would decide something like whether using the spell that way could work or not, and then how they might have to adjust the difficulty of the roll(s) required to use it that way. Maybe consider it a touch attack version of the spell and include a DC for whether it would work if you even land the touch attack? Give the player a chance to do it, but no guarantee that it will work just because you can argue that a human is a container and the ordinary spell never required much else than that aspect.

that create water yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh!

i remember when I had used area of frost but only had lv0 slots left to use so i wide-cast create water intending to form ice on the ground to trip up the mobs, but my DM fluffed it up to manifesting just above the aoe so the water formed ice needles dealing 4d4 piercing dmg. good times, good times.

Did he kill him or not? I really hope he did, otherwise he will probably let anyone life no matter what they did just because they are human...

I'm confused how someone whose alignment is neutral is considered the follower of an evil deity.

Is it just because he met Her first? If he studies the religion & starts worshiping another God, will he free himself of Her "blessing?"

I feel like mage×rogue is on the worse side of multiclasses, but it was made in a pinch so lets see how it goes.

There's things here that seem to be 5e-ish, but then there's details that are more reminiscent of 3.5. Either way, raw, I'd say you can't. 5e's create/destroy water requires an "open container." But even if one wished to argue an open mouth makes him an open container, by God, would it be a mistake to allow this. Again, assuming 5e, the spell is "create/DESTROY water" it can do either or. If you allow the create to work, well you now have a spell that can be cast at range, no save, delete literally every drop of water in an average human body.
BUT, there is a good reason to argue this isn't 5e rules! For starters, create water 5e is a lvl 1, not cantrip. The wording of the spell also feels more 3.5.
So then what's the call in that case? Well the rules of conjuration specifically forbid conjuring inside a living creature. Easy peasy. (Queue endless debate on whether being inside a colossal or larger sized creature, like you're swallowed by a giant whale or something, would disallow you from conjuring while inside.)
