Smokepuff was a personal cantrip that initiate wizards could learn.[4][5] It created a small amount of smoke in a small selection of colors.[1][2][3]
Effects[]
This spell created a puff of smoke about 1 foot (30 centimeters) in diameter at a distance of up to 10 feet (3 meters) from the caster. Once created, it immediately became susceptible to the prevailing conditions. In a calm room, the smoke rose toward the ceiling as typical, but a breeze would scatter and dissipate it. The caster could choose the color of the smoke as either white, black, gray, brown, green, or yellow.[1][2][3]
Components[]
This cantrip require verbal and somatic components. The caster extended a hand horizontally and spoke the desired color, then blew out a breath of air and raised the hand to the vertical.[1][2][3]
History[]
The untitled book known as Briel's Book of Shadows described this cantrip,[6] including how to shape the smoke into rings.[7][note 1]

Notes[]
- ↑ The four cantrips described in Dragon #97 were replaced with the cantrip spell when the 2nd-edition Pages from the Mages was published. The Wizard's Spell Compendium Volume Four describes all the 1st-edition cantrips as examples of what you could do with cantrip.
