The spell also does a small amount of impact poison damage -- while poison resistance completely protects creatures from the clouds this spell generates, the initial impact damage may still poison targets that aren't completely immune to poison.

+===Sea of Flame tactic (aka the poor adventurer's Fire Storm)===
 For poison-resistant enemies, or just for more damage, you can use [[Ignite Poison]] to make a sea of flame. Since other types of clouds will block the "spread" of Poisonous Cloud, a simple [[Conjure Flame]] in a corridor will keep the poison off of you, and then Ignite Poison will make your enemies stand in fire. Once there, even intelligent enemies will stay in the fire and take massive damage. Also good to deal with enemy summoners and mindless monsters -- it's basically a 9-tile Conjure Flame that takes two turns to cast, and can be cast on tiles with enemies. Add one turn for every 9 extra clouds of fire (just delay ignition until you're done spreading the poison). Jellies and the like run straight through the fire, get wounded, and flee straight back through the fire. Summoners can summon, but they're standing in fire, and so are their summons. Yaktaurs? Standing in fire. Anything that swarms you? Make them walk through fire first. This and [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]] can get you through the whole dungeon and almost into the Orb chamber, plus any branch that isn't full of fire-resistant enemies.
