Smoke Web

Intensity: 3

Casting Time: 1 minute 30' of radius of smoke or mist around the caster to be affected.

Duration: Height in minutes

Attunement: No

This spell takes an area of ordinary smoke or mist and extends very fine tendrils of smokemass through it; these tendrils are not strong enough to impede the movement of creatures, but the caster can sense when they are broken, and so feel the movement of creatures through the smoke.

Once cast this spell allows the caster to use Sense + Hearing to determine details about groups moving through the mist. Greater height on the roll gives more of the following pieces of information: location, number, size, direction of movement, formation, whether they are being stealthy and the 'feel' of their equipment – metal, leather, cloth or flesh.

Cloud Fixing

Intensity: 6

Casting Time: 10 minutes

Duration: Width in years

Attunement: No

This spell takes a cloud of mist and smoke and fixes it in place. It can affect a volume of up to twenty times the casting roll's height in all directions about the caster. It was the creation of a retired Smoke Magician, who retired to a baroque self-created mansion to refine his art. He filled the marsh around his home with such clouds to discourage and disorientate visitors. Eventually his grand-daughter, who was following in his footsteps discovered that he had died alone years before, having scared off all potential visitors. She brought his library back to Turningford, and his mansion slowly reverted to the marsh mists from which it was created.
