| Transmutes a small amount of the air around a target into toxic vapours, poisoning anyone unfortunate enough to breathe them in. The quantity of air affected is small and it will not persist beyond the turn in which it is cast. It cannot affect those with any resistance to poison. |
Poisonous Vapours is a level 2 Poison/Air spell which causes smite-targeted poison on any vulnerable enemy within line of sight. Poisonous Vapours will fail to cast if the monster has poison resistance.
Strategy
Poisonous Vapours is an excellent spell for Venom Mages to pick up at XL 2, as a more reliable, higher damaging, longer-ranged Sting. The fact that it is level 2 and can't miss also makes it appealing for any character with a few free spell levels.
