Cigotuvi's Dreadful Rot is a level 2 Necromancy/Air Magic/Poison Magic spell.

It instantly creates a cloud of miasma on the user's tile, slowing, heavily poisoning, and damaging any breathing creature that steps inside. You are immune to this cloud for the turn you cast it, but vulnerable thereafter.

In addition, each cast will temporarially drain about 9% of the player's max HP per cast.[1]

Hedge Wizards start with this spell in their libraries.

Strategy

  • Most monsters in the early game will not walk through the miasma cloud. Useful to escape foes while avoiding attacks of opportunity. In a hallway, you can stand behind the cloud and get a few potshots.

  • Monsters who don't breathe, like undead monsters, are unaffected by miasma. Also watch out for monsters with ranged attacks.

This spell was added in 0.30, replacing both Corpse Rot and Conjure Flame.
