-Fortunately, you only encounter this spell in the late game, as it is one of the more threatening spells in the game. It allows [[draconian caller]]s to summon [[death drake]]s (the other monsters range from popcorn to moderate threats, as compared to the typical Zot monster), which will quickly fill the area with [[miasma]] clouds that will [[slow]], [[poison]], and [[rot]] you. As a general rule, try to kill off the caller first in any encounter to keep things simple. If you are swarmed and cannot kill the caller, use whatever means necessary to escape ([[teleport]] is not a bad idea on Zot:1-4, but on Zot:5 you'll usually want to resort to whatever means of increasing your movement speed you have available). Attempting to wade your way through hordes of drakes while slowed, rotting, and possibly poisoned is simply never worth the trouble.
+It is one of the more threatening spells in the game due to its ability to create [[miasma]]-spewing [[death drake]]s that will swiftly [[slow]], [[poison]], and [[rot]] you. Fortunately, it only appears in the spell lists of [[draconian stormcaller]]s, and the rest of the monsters the spell can summon are minor threats compared to the regular enemies encountered around the [[Realm of Zot]].
-Gaining rotting resistance is quite difficult. [[Zin]]'s Vitalisation ability will protect you, as will having [[Necromutation]] active. Other than that, you have to be undead: [[Ghoul]]s, [[Vampire]]s, and [[Mummies]] usually have nothing to fear from this spell (although Mummies will want to be sure to have sufficient fire resistance for the [[lindwurm]]s).
