Fog cloud, formerly known as Veridon's cloud, was a conjuration spell that created a fog.[3][10] A fog cloud could be stored in a small flask known as a vapor bottle.[11]
Effects
Edit
It caused a cloud of fog to emanate from the point of origin, obscuring sight and concealing those within. The cloud would dissipate as a normal fog in a strong enough wind, and could not be cast underwater.[3]
Since the spell created air along with the fog, it could be used to renew the air supply of a spelljammer that had spent too long in wildspace. Despite the temporary obscuring effect, the new air created remained even after the spell's duration.[12]
Fog cloud could be cast by druids, sorcerers, wizards, and clerics who commanded the water domain.[3] In the time of Netheril, it could be cast by arcanists of the Inventive and Variation specializations.[4]
ComponentsEdit
The spell required only verbal and somatic components.[1]
HistoryEdit
The spell was created by the arcanist Veridon of Netheril, ruler of the enclave of Lathery. He introduced it in 3375 NY (−484 DR) under the name Veridon's cloud. It later became known simply as fog cloud.[10][13][14]
Fog cloud was an uncommon spell in Faerûn in the 1360s DR.[15]
