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. However, it 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 of this level will not walk through the miasma cloud. Useful to escape while avoiding attacks of opportunity.
  • Works well with Mephitic Cloud - confused monsters can walk into the cloud. Monsters that are rPois, but not immune to miasma, will walk through the miasma if they are in the noxious fumes.

History

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