of the dungeon may even trigger it themselves to invoke its effects against
you.

### Clouds
### TODO: move this to its own file!
############
flame cloud

A cloud of raging fire. Any creature not entirely immune to fire will be hurt
by time spent in the flames.

Ranged cold attacks passing through the cloud are substantially reduced in
range, dissipating the cloud in the process.

If placed near water, the heat will generate steam nearby. If placed directly
over water, the cloud will dissipate much more quickly.
%%%%
noxious fumes cloud

A cloud of vile, choking fumes. Any breathing creature spending time in it will
be at risk of becoming confused by the gasses, unless resistant to poison.
Tougher, more experienced creatures are less likely to be affected.
%%%%
freezing vapour cloud

A cloud of freezing air. Any creature not entirely immune to cold will be hurt
by time spent inside.

Ranged cold attacks passing through the cloud are substantially reduced in
range, dissipating the cloud in the process.

If placed over lava, the cloud will dissipate much more quickly.
%%%%
poison gas cloud

A cloud of deadly poison. Any creature without resistance to poison will be
both poisoned and directly harmed by time spent in it.
%%%%
_smoke_cloud_

A cloud of coloured smoke. Harmless, except to the asthmatic.
%%%%
black smoke cloud

<_smoke_cloud_>
%%%%
grey smoke cloud

<_smoke_cloud_>
%%%%
blue smoke cloud

<_smoke_cloud_>
%%%%
purple smoke cloud

<_smoke_cloud_>
%%%%
translocational energy cloud

The remnant of some creature that was recently here but is no longer, banished
nearby, across the level, or out of reality itself, all the way into the Abyss.
Some wizards say these are a kind of "allergic reaction" the universe
produces, in response to magic that warps space in impossible ways; a cosmic
sneeze. Perhaps metaphysically gross, but otherwise harmless.
%%%%
spreading flames cloud

A raging forest fire. Any creature not entirely immune to fire will be hurt by
time spent in the flames. The flames will intermittently flare up and fill
their surroundings with lesser fires. Any trees unfortunate enough to be nearby
will often find themselves transformed into more kindling for the fire.

Ranged cold attacks passing through the cloud are substantially reduced in
range, dissipating the cloud in the process.

If placed near water, the heat will generate steam nearby. If placed directly
over water, the cloud will dissipate much more quickly.
%%%%
steam cloud

A cloud of scalding steam. Creatures caught within will be mildly injured,
and fire resistance will further reduce the damage.
%%%%
ink cloud

A cloud of ink, completely filling the water.
%%%%
calcifying dust cloud

A petrifying cloud. Creatures caught in the cloud for any length of time will
find themselves turning to stone, though more experienced creatures may be able
to resist the effects.
%%%%
blessed fire cloud

A cloud of divine fire, imbued with holy power. Those in the service of one of
the good gods will be unaffected by it. All others will take substantial
damage, with fire resistance offering no protection. Those following evil gods
will take increased damage, and the undead and demonic even more.
%%%%
foul pestilence cloud

# XXX: clarify vine stalkers, gargoyles
A cloud of dark miasma. Any living being not subject to Zin's divine protection
will find themselves poisoned, and may also find their movements slowing and
their flesh rotting away.
%%%%
thin mist cloud

A cloud of thin mist. Atmospheric, but harmless.
%%%%
seething chaos cloud

A cloud of seething chaos. A wide variety of unpredictable effects apply to
those within the clouds, ranging from invisibility to berserk rage to complete
paralysis.
%%%%
rain cloud

An extremely localized rainstorm. It may produce pools of shallow water, or
temporarily deepen existing pools. Beings made entirely out of fire are averse
to spending much time in the rain.

If placed over lava, the cloud will dissipate much more quickly.
%%%%
mutagenic fog cloud

A cloud of pure, unstructured magic, condensed into a scintilliating mist;
essentially toxic magical waste. Creatures venturing within will find
themselves increasingly contaminated with magical radiation, sufficient amounts
of which will inflict negative mutations when dissipating.
%%%%
magical condensation cloud

The wake of some highly concentrated magical energy, itself entirely harmless.
%%%%
raging winds cloud

The winds of a raging tornado. It will deal severe damage to anyone within it.
%%%%
sparse dust cloud

A cloud of sparse dust. Atmospheric, but harmless.
%%%%
spectral mist cloud

A cloud of spectral mist. It causes minor damage to all creatures other than
the undead. Dangerous but short-lived spectral undead creatures will coalesce
from the mist over time.
%%%%
acidic fog cloud

A cloud of flesh-searing acid, which will deal damage and apply corrosion to
those within it. Resistance to corrosion will provide immunity to its effects.
%%%%
thunder cloud

A dark storm cloud. It will intermittently strike those within with lightning,
dealing severe damage to those without resistance to electricity.
%%%%
negative energy cloud

A cloud of necromantic energy. Living creatures trapped within will find
themselves drained of their life energies, though protection from negative
energy will mitigate the effects.
%%%%
