Weave Smoke

Spell — see Magic and Spellcasting for the rules and the Spell Index for the full list.

Arcane 1 Type: elemental (air), wall

Range: 180’ Duration: 2 turns

This spell allows the caster to manipulate an existing volume of fog and/or smoke into a different shape. In order to weave smoke the caster must concentrate. The concentrating caster can move up to 1,000 cubic feet of smoke by up to 100’ each combat round. The caster does not need to maintain concentration to sustain the spell. For instance, he can concentrate for one round to weave smoke, take another action the following round, and then resume weaving fire subsequent round.

The caster cannot weave the smoke so that it appears where objects or creatures already are, nor can he weave it to impact creatures. In addition, the smoke cannot be woven to be less than 1” thick. Subject to those limitations, the caster can weave the smoke into almost any shape he desires. If the caster has a relevant Art or Craft proficiency, he can even weave the smoke into decorative sculptures with intricate detail. If woven to at least 6” thickness, woven smoke will block vision, and if woven to 1’ thickness, it will block both vision and light. Smoke never presents an obstacle to movement or magical effects (except for those requiring a line of sight to target). Once woven, the smoke can still be affected by water or strong winds like an ordinary cloud of smoke, though other attacks will have correspondingly little effect on it. A counterspell, disintegration or dispel magic spell can disperse the woven smoke instantly; it will otherwise dissipate in 1 turn. The spell does not create the smoke itself, so it must be cast on morning mist, banks of fog, smoke from a fire, etc.
