Any mortal creature caught in the cloud when they start their turn takes 4D6 poison and are [[conditions#poisoned|poisoned]] until their next round unless they make a CON save in which case their condition does not change but they take half damage.

 +|1-3|The cloud moves 15' in a random direction, leaving behind an invisible [[corruptor|Corruptor Demon]] who immediately attempts to inhabit the soul of the nearest mortal|
 +|4-8 |The cloud stays still, and gouts of crackling energy arc from it dealing 1D10 lightning damage to all targets within 10' of the miasma if they fail a DEX check|
 +|9-13|The cloud moves 15' in a random direction|
 +|14-15|The cloud stays still, roiling and sparking becoming an opaque cloud for one round blinding all those inside and covering line of sight through it|

-This foul spell is only revealed to those favored by the Unspeakable One and his deranged priests. Casting the spell immediately grants you one point of [[corruption]], as the power of the Unspeakable One courses through you. With a waving of arms and a devilish chant, you create an illusion of a whirling, pulsating symbol of pure madness in the air. Those within 30' when the spell is cast, or any creature other than you who ends their turn within the 30' area for as long as you maintain [[concentration]] must make two checks. Those failing a WIS check are [[conditions#stunned|Stunned]] for one round and gain a level of [[stress]], transfixed to staring at the symbol. Those who fail a CON check take 5D8 points of necrotic damage and gain a level of [[stress|exhaustion]], as their skin appears to rot off of their bones. +This foul spell is only revealed to those favored by the Unspeakable One and his deranged priests.
