 '''Steam''' is one of the least common elemental forces you will encounter as you explore the [[Dungeon]]. Unlike most elements, it is very difficult for most characters to have access to steam, and few monsters are even capable of it.
-==Steam Damage==
+==Steam Clouds==
-Steam damage can be reduced by either a character's steam resistance (rSteam) or [[fire]] resistance [[intrinsic]]s. A single rank in either makes you completely immune to damage from environmental steam, and each rank you have significantly reduces damage from direct steam attacks (up to 3 ranks max).

-Aside from injury, however, steam attacks also create steam [[cloud]]s wherever they are fired. These deal further damage to anything without resistance caught in them, and they also block [[line of sight]], making steam attacks excellent for blocking certain spells or most ranged attacks.

+==Steam Damage==
-Most characters will only have to deal with steam in the form of attacks from certain enemies. [[Steam dragon]]s, [[pale draconian]]s, [[merfolk aquamancer]]s, and [[smoke demon]]s will all blast you with gouts of steam, dealing moderate damage up-front and scalding you over time so long as you stand in the clouds. Although most characters never have access to this kind of steam attack, level 7 pale [[draconian]]s gain a steam breath attack of their own.
+Steam damage is one of the rarest elements in the game. It appears from the following sources:

-Steam resistance is one of the rarest intrinsics in the game.  However, steam attacks are also rare, and fire resistance gives partial steam resistance, making rSteam of limited use.
