A dense fog of corrosive acid coalesces in the area. The acid does 1d4 damage to creatures and other exposed objects. The acid also reduces Armor Value of any armor worn by creatures in this area by 1 per round. The acid does initial damage as the spell is cast, and then does damage to creatures still in the fog at the end of their turn. Inanimate objects not carried or wielded by creatures take damage at the end of the turn. 

Targeting: A caster must target a single square and then successfully roll a Spot skill check to hit that target. If the Spot skill fails, roll 1d8, and the spell lands in an adjoining space. To determine the direction, the closest space to the spellcaster being 1 and rotating clockwise. To determine how far from the intended target space, it is equal to 5’x the spells damage dice away from the target space. On a fumble (100), the spell centers on the caster. For more see Targeting AoE Spells previously in this chapter.

The only way to avoid the acid fog is to leave the affected area. Water or bases can dilute the acid, causing half damage. Once out of the fog, the acid dissipates from any person or object.
