These are centered around the player and last for several turns. Fog clouds can spread to other adjacent tiles.<br /> <br /> Opaque clouds, including from fog, can block [[line of sight]]. If 2 or more opaque clouds are in the way, then you will be unable to see further in that direction.<br /> <br /> ==Strategy==<br /> At first, this scroll appears to have little use, but it can be very helpful in certain situations:<br /> <br /> * Fog can be used to block line of sight. If you can&#039;t see enemies because of the fog, enemies can&#039;t see you. This prevents dangerous ranged attackers, [[smite]]rs, and [[torment]]ers from attacking for a few turns. This can be enough time to flee, to reposition, or to get a monster in melee range.<br /> **Enemies are totally unable to attack tiles blocked by fog. But certain player spells, like [[Fireball]] and [[Fulminant Prism]], can attack past it.<br /> **Note that a scroll of fog may not block the desired tiles immediately. If LOS isn&#039;t blocked right away, try moving backwards, which will block sight in the forward direction.<br /> **Blocking your LOS can be useful when combined with certain LOS-dependent abilities like [[Blink]]. For example, by using fog, stepping back 1-2 tiles, and then casting Blink, it&#039;s more likely for you to be teleported towards the direction you retreated in. Non-targeting spells like [[Plasma Beam]], [[Permafrost Eruption]], and [[tin of tremorstones]] can occasionally be manipulated in a similar way.<br /> *Clouds cannot replace other clouds. Placing a fog cloud will prevent other, more dangerous clouds like [[miasma]] from occupying your tile.<br /> *The locations of [[invisible]] monsters standing in clouds are more likely to be revealed by the disturbances they create.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> *Prior to [[0.22]], not all fog types from scrolls of fog would spread.<br /> <br /> {{scrolls}}</div>
