Stinking cloud

Stinking cloud, originally called Tolodine's stinking cloud, was a conjuration spell that created a cloud bank of nauseating vapors. Moon-horses of Evermeet often used this spell.

Effects
The cloud created by this spell had a radius and was equally high. It could be formed anywhere within medium range. Creatures breathing in its fumes felt sick to the stomach. The cloud lasted for up to one minute, for as long as the caster kept concentrating on maintaining the spell.

The effects of a stinking cloud could also be obtained as a possible effect of a guards and wards spell.

Components
This spell required verbal and somatic components and a rotten egg,  a handful of skunk cabbage leaves,  or yochlol essence, which were consumed in the casting process. When this spell was magically inscribed unto a scroll, ink made from yochlol essence or smoke drake eggs was often used.

It was also possible to use the gland found in flumphs that produced their defensive foul-smelling liquid as a material component for the spell. However, if cast using that gland, the spell was likely to attract the attention of every flumph within a radius.

History
This spell and the similar death fog spell were invented by the Netherese arcanist Tolodine in, early in the history of Netheril.
