Causes the caster to release a torrent of sludge, which transforms the dungeon into a toxic bog around the caster's position. The sludge damages and poisons all monsters, even those resistant to poison. The sludge is temporary and cannot replace deep water or lava. Spellpower will increase both the duration of the torrent and how long the sludge lingers.

Eringya's Noxious Bog is a Level 6 Poison Magic/Transmutations spell that surrounds the user with toxic sludge in their line of sight. The sludge acts similarly to shallow water, but also deals damage to and poisons anything swimming or wading through it (even poison-resistant creatures will take damage). Flying creatures are not affected. Since Ignite Poison could basically explode your entire line of sight, its effect has been nerfed to still cause damage, but no longer be a full blown Firestorm in combination with this spell.

This includes you: without flying, you can get trapped in your own bog unless you risk heavy poisoning, which rPois will only reduce, but not eliminate. A Staff of Olgreb and the poison immunity it confers to you may still make you immune - please update this article when you had a chance to try it out.

Trivia

This spell refers to a mage called Eringya; this is the first reference to them in-game since the removal of the spell Eringya's Surprising Bouquet and the wizlab level Eringya's Formal Garden.

History

Prior to 0.26 the spell would leave a toxic wake behind you, much like Xom's chaos clouds, allowing you to poison enemies while running away from them. Eringya's Noxious Bog was added in 0.25.
