How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 10: Circle of the Spores

Notes

• Similar to  Cloudkill, the initial use applies the condition dealing 2d8⁠⁠Necrotic damage, and the enemy takes 2d8⁠⁠Necrotic at the beginning of their turn.
• The Spreading Spore area is not treated as as a regular cloud layer, and stacks with other clouds such as  Cloudkill or  Darkness.
• Spreading Spore works neither with  Boots of Stormy Clamour, nor with  Diadem of Arcane Synergy, except on a successful save due to a buggy interaction, and  Gloves of Battlemage's Power. This is unlike  Cloudkill or  Wall of Fire, which both have a bug that allows them to proc Arcane Synergy and Arcane Acuity.
