 * Fog can be used to block line of sight. If you can't see enemies because of the fog, enemies can't see you. This prevents dangerous ranged attackers, [[smite]]rs, and [[torment]]ers from attacking for a few turns. This can be enough time to flee, to reposition, or to get a monster in melee range.
 **Enemies are totally unable to attack tiles blocked by fog. But certain player spells, like [[Fireball]] and [[Fulminant Prism]], can attack past it.
 **Note that a scroll of fog may not block the desired tiles immediately. If LOS isn't blocked right away, try moving backwards, which will block sight in the forward direction.
 *Clouds cannot replace other clouds. Placing a fog cloud will prevent other, more dangerous clouds like [[miasma]] from occupying your tile.
 *The locations of [[invisible]] monsters standing in clouds are more likely to be revealed by the disturbances they create.

 At first, this scroll appears to have little use, but it can be very helpful in certain situations:
-*Enemy abilities and spells that create dangerous clouds cannot affect tiles that already have clouds, creating a temporary safe spot for you.
-*The locations of [[invisible]] monsters standing in clouds are revealed by the disturbances they create.
+* Fog can be used to block line of sight. If you can't see enemies because of the fog, enemies can't see you. This can prevent dangerous ranged attackers, [[smite]]rs, and [[torment]]ers from attacking for a few turns. This can be enough to flee, to reposition, or to get a monster in melee range.
-*You can block [[line of sight]] by placing two or more clouds of smoke between you and the enemy, protecting you from dangerous ranged attackers, [[smite]]rs, and [[torment]]ers long enough for you to flee or position yourself somewhere safer. Better still, while enemies can't attack tiles they can't see, you ''can''; firing at tiles where you predict opponents may be can get you several free hits while the enemy charges toward you.
