Stinking cloud, originally called Tolodine's stinking cloud,[1] was a conjuration spell that created a cloud bank of nauseating vapors.[4] Moon-horses of Evermeet often used this spell.[10]
Effects[]
The green cloud[11] created by this spell had a 20‑foot (6.1‑meter) radius and was equally high. It could be formed anywhere within medium range. Creatures breathing in its fumes felt sick to the stomach.[4][2] The cloud lasted for up to one minute, for as long as the caster kept concentrating on maintaining the spell.[2]
The effects of a stinking cloud could also be obtained as a possible effect of a guards and wards spell.[12]
Components[]
This spell required verbal and somatic components[4][2] and a rotten egg,[4][2] a handful of skunk cabbage leaves,[4][2][11] or yochlol essence,[13] which were consumed in the casting process. When this spell was magically inscribed unto a scroll, ink made from yochlol essence[13] or smoke drake eggs[14] 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 1‑mile (1.6‑kilometer) radius.[15]
History[]
This spell and the similar death fog spell were invented by the Netherese arcanist Tolodine in −2363 DR, early in the history of Netheril.[16]
Zaranda Star used the spell during her raid of Castle Lutwill during the Year of the Staff, 1366 DR.[11][17]
