DESCRIPTION

You exhale a mist that burns and disorients your foes, and a lingering fog obscures you.

You produce a stationary billowing mass of misty vapors like the obscuring mist spell. The vapor obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target).

In addition to obscuring sight, this spell's vapors are highly acidic. The mist deals 2d6 points of acid damage to each creature and object within it. The mist fades at the end of your next turn and a moderate wind (11+ mph), such as from a gust of wind spell, disperses the mist.

This spell does not function underwater.

At 11th level, the mist deals lingers for 3 rounds, can only be dispersed by a strong wind (21+ mph), which disperses the fog in 1 round, and deals an additional 1d6 points of acid damage to each creature living creature in the area unless they hold their breath.

Special: A sorcerer with the draconic bloodline creates a mist that lingers for 3 rounds or 5 rounds at 11th level.
