The visibility ranges in the above table are for Beings that could otherwise see in the ambient Light Intensity.  Fog effects do not allow a greater level of visibility than obtained from Nightsight or Infravision.  Fogsight effects may be used to increase the above ranges.

Duration: 30t min - t(t-1)/2

Range: 10d ft -d(d-1)/2

Radius: 10r ft -r(r-1)/2

Companions: N living companions -2N (in addition to Caster - may be freely targeted by Caster within Radius)

Notes:

  1. Creates a Fog which the Caster and Companions can see through as if it were not there (though they can see it) and within which they may move about freely.  The Caster need not be at the centre of the Fog, which may be located at up to the Range away from them on Casting.
  2. The Caster can move the Fog to any point within the Range from their current location using light concentration.
  3. The Caster and Companions may leave and re-enter the Fog without losing the ability to see through it as if it were not there, but they do not have that ability whilst outside the Radius.
  4. The Fog of Obscurement is resistant to wind, but its Level is decreased by 1 per 10mph FRD of windspeed.  Dust Cloud does not suffer from this effect, as it becomes a sandstorm.
  5. Multiple Fogs are cumulative in Fog Levels (up to a maximum of 10), but the Caster and Compaions only disregard the Levels of those Fogs they have Cast or which have Targeted them as Companions
