Range: 30d ft -d(d-1)/2

Radius: 5r ft -r(r-1)/2

Duration: s sec -(s-1)²

Notes:

1. Creates a light Mist within Radius for Duration.
2. Targets all living Beings within Radius, other than creatures of Nature.  Has no effect upon the Undead.  Will target Druids, but not Beings Shapechanged into Animal or Plant form.
3. A Being n% within the Radius has an n% chance of being targeted.
4. A Being that is within the Radius must make a st for every sec in which it is so.
5. Any target failing its st is transported into a Dreamworld of Mists, where it wanders making a st (at the same st mod) every sec, even after Duration has expired.  On making its st, the target is transported back out of the Mists into Reality, appearing at a random location elsewhere in the same Forest.  Targets failing their st in the same sec will not appear together in the Dreamworld of Mists unless they were in physical contact, and must remain in such contact to avoid being separated in the Mists.
6. No concentration is required to maintain the Mist if an extended Duration is specified.  It cannot be dismissed before the end of the Duration.
7. Lost in the Desert transports target into a Dreamworld of Desert and heat haze, but is otherwise identical.
