Using the cover of smoke is a simple showman’s trick that may fool the simple or very young children.
You create or disperse a puff of smoke or cloud of fog filling an area centered on a point within 30 ft. of you.
This smoke or fog grants concealment to creatures within it, and blinds creatures while they remain within it.
You may choose the color of the smoke or fog.
Strong winds may move or disperse the smoke or fog.
Subtle:
Casting this spell while hidden does not cause you to become unhidden.
Dissipate d4:
At the start of each of your turns, roll a d4. If you roll a 1, the smoke dissipates.
Suggested Backfire: You choke on smoke, and spend your next action coughing.
