Writhing Fog is a 2nd level priest spell only usable by shamans.

Description[]

This spell conjures a cloud of writhing fog that chills and hinders anyone within its area other than the caster. Creatures in the fog take 1d3 points of cold damage per round. In addition, there is a 20% chance that they must save vs. Death or be slowed for 1 round. Creatures immune to cold damage do not suffer any adverse effects from this spell.

Gameplay[]

All shamans automatically receive this spell and do not have to select it on level-ups. The shaman himself is immune to the effects of this spell and so are creatures 100% resistant to cold damage.

This spell's effects don't stack. So if a creature is hit by one instance of Writhing Fog, it can't be hit by another (in technical terms, the spell gives targets protection against the Writhing Fog spell itself for 5 seconds right after hitting them).

Notes[]

  1. Internally, this spell's range is 30 ft. Targets must be within the caster's line of sight, limiting this to roughly 26 feet.
  2. The spread projectiles are invisible for this spell.
