{{Flavour|This spell heats a potion to the point that it explodes when thrown. The resultant steam is then transmuted into a large cloud, the type of which varies from potion to potion. Of course, the volatile potion must be thrown immediately for the spell to work.}}

The [[Evaporate]] spell allows the caster to throw a magically heated potion that explodes into a cloud of up to 3x3 squares. The exact effect produced depends entirely on the kind of potion used (see list below). As many of the "bad" potions you can find produce powerful effects, this spell works very well alongside [[Fulsome Distillation]].

Mixed clouds have their squares individually randomized from all available cloud types. The duration of the cloud increases with [[spell power]].

==Tips & Tricks==
Evaporate is the cheap swiss army knife of toxic clouds. It's usually used by [[transmuter]]s in conjunction with the [[Fulsome Distillation]] spell, which provides ideal "ammo".

The spell will duplicate the far more difficult [[Mephitic Cloud]] or [[Poisonous Cloud]], or produce dreaded [[Miasma]] in the same quantities (Miasma's poison/slow combination can take out Orc Knights with a single use)! Even clouds of steam can soften or kill snakes and hobgoblins or fleeing enemies, and later it can cut off LOS to dangerous ranged attackers or [[orc priest]]s. A deadly one-two punch is to lead off with a mephitic cloud to stun opponents, and as the clouds dissipate, replace them with poison or miasma for the victims to mill in and out of. And occasional clouds of flame or stranger stuff is nothing to sneer at.

Mutagenic fog is probably best avoided; it provides bad mutations for you and ''repeated'' [[polymorph]]s for monsters.

==History==

In [[0.10]], Evaporate was changed such that a full 3x3 cloud is no longer guaranteed.

In older versions of the game, you were protected from blinking into harmful clouds, so this spell could be used to direct a nominally uncontrolled blink. Alas, this trick no longer works.
