Effect The caster creates a choking cloud of dust that provides cover and makes it hard to breathe for those inside. Unprepared targets (targets not already holding their breath or protected from inhalants) begin to choke and suffocate on the particulates in the air during their next turn. Each round that a target remains within the Dust Cloud, they take 1 lethal damage and are unable to speak or cast spells that require a verbal component. At Rank 2, this spell provides Light Cover (-2 penalty to ranged attacks). This improves to Moderate Cover (-4 penalty) at Rank 3.
