Cloud Cone

Version 0.15: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This spell blasts the area near the caster with various destructive clouds. At low power, the most lethal clouds the spell can create are noxious fumes; as power increases, this gives way to roaring flames, freezing vapours, and poisonous gas, and at the highest tiers of power even stronger clouds become available.

Cloud Cone is a spell that fills a cone-shaped area in front of you with clouds, with higher spell power determining the nature of the clouds produced. Cloud Cone is only castable via a rod of clouds, so its power is derived from the player's Evocation skill.

Possible clouds produced by this spell are:

• Thin mist (harmless, no effect)
• Rain clouds (harmless, no effect)
• Noxious clouds (confuses the target)
• Fire clouds (deals fire damage)
• Freezing clouds (deals cold damage, slows cold-blooded enemies)
• Poison gas (deals poison damage, inflicts poison)
• Negative energy clouds (deals negative energy damage, inflicts draining)
• Acidic fog (deals acid damage, inflicts corrosion
• Thunderclouds (deals electricity damage, more effective against flying foes)
