Uther’s Stinking Fog (Manipulation - 6)
Ranged, Temporal, Passive
This spell creates a thick fog of green-tinted misty vapours. The fog takes one round to build up; it emerges from the point on the ground used as target by the wizard. The base volume is only one cubic meter, for each point of amplify the volume is squared. Example: an Acid Fog, amplified with three points has a volume of 27 cubic meters (3 x 3 x 3). The wizard cannot control the shape of the vapours; the clouds expand equally in all directions. A solid obstacle will prevent the cloud from expanding in that direction, forcing it to expand where it can.
The mist is non-mobile, but can be blown away, either by natural means or magical ones. If the clouds are highly acidic they can do quite some harm as they disperse over an area, it could for example make the leaves fall of threes, etc.
Sight is severely impeded by the fog, reduce all (visual) scan and search attempts inside the fog by 50 percentiles. Reduce all (visual) attempts to scan thru the mists by 80 percentiles.
The fog is also acidic, for each round, or part of a round, a creature remains in, or passes thru, the fog it takes one point of general hit point damage per point of amplify used. Only the weakest armour protects against this damage.
Spell Props: A pinch of pine needles and some skunk hair.
