Clouds are limited use static projectile spells that conjure magical clouds at the point of casting. The cloud is stationary in this position until it expires, unless modified. Clouds have a fixed lifetime limit which can't be extended. Their usage limit can be removed with the Unlimited Spells perk.

Each cloud creates a constant stream of droplets of its respective material. Additionally, Thundercloud fires miniature lightning bolts downward every second, producing smoke.

Tips

• The droplets falling from the clouds can be used to burst fiery projectiles.
• The Rain Cloud is frequently found in the mines level, and so is a perfect way to kill the fiery Stendari which can otherwise be tough to deal with so early in a run.
• The Blood Cloud synergizes well with the Vampirism perk.
• The Oil Cloud, if lit, can act as a wall of fire.
• The Acid Cloud is useful for digging through hard materials (up to but not including Extremely Dense Rock)
  • It can, however, be contained within Glass.
• Thundercloud creates a powerful crowd control area effect that decimates enemies passing underneath it, especially slower ones, making it ideal for ambushes.
