Rod of clouds

Evoking a rod of clouds casts Cloud Cone, filling a cone-shaped area in front of you with one of several randomly selected cloud types. At low evocations skill, this rod frequently conjures simple, harmless smoke, but it can occasionally produce damaging clouds as well. With high skill, its random nature can still make it useless (conjuring negative energy against undead), but it can be also be devastating (poison against insects, thunderstorms against most creatures, acid against almost anything.)

The long duration of summoned clouds typically means that you'll need to move if you want to try for a different effect against a given set of creatures, as the fight is likely to long since be over by the time the air is clear.
