Mist fills the area, making vision uncertain.

• Concealment: A creature has total concealment against you if 5 or more lightly obscured squares stand between you and it (including the nearest square of the creature’s space). Closer creatures have concealment, but not total concealment.
• Vision: You can see through lightly obscured squares, but you take a –5 penalty to Perception checks to see or spot things.

The area affected is a close burst with a radius depending on the Arcana check that created it. The area is immobile once created. You can always chose to affect a smaller area.

Arcana Check Result	Size of the Close Burst
9 or lower	Close burst 2
10-19	Close burst 20
20-29	Close burst 200 (300 yard. radius)
30-39	Close burst 2,000 (3,000 yd. radius)
40 or higher	Close burst 20,000 (30,000 yard radius)
