- Poisonous Cloud was removed as a player spell in 0.20. The player version was smite-targeted and could be used in conjunction with various other tactics (such as casting Ignite Poison).
- In 0.19, poison clouds created by the player vanish instantly when out of LoS.
- In 0.14, this spell won't be able to place clouds outside of the caster's LoS. Dissipation time for out of LoS clouds is unchanged.
- Originally a L6 spell, around the time of 0.7 this spell was lowered a level. However, it was subsequently returned to L6 when it was realized that it was overpowered at L5.
