Fog
Spell, Elemental Magic, level 1
Creates a large, mobile bank of fog that the caster can steer, cutting visibility to almost nothing and making fast movement inside it hazardous.
From the book
The caster raises a thick bank of fog measuring 100x100x100 ft. and can steer it at 10 ft. per minute from as far as 1,000 ft. away. Inside, nobody can see more than 10 ft. Anyone in the fog who tries to go faster than half speed must save vs Perception or trip, blunder into hidden obstacles and the like.
The fog lasts 10 minutes. There is no save unless the victims manage to outpace or sidestep it. Each level of ability lets the caster either widen the fog by another 10x10 ft. or keep it going for 10 more minutes.

A scene
The Pict warband came over the heather at a run, blue-painted and screaming, and Aine the druid simply breathed out. A bank of white fog rose from the burn and rolled uphill to meet them, as tall as a watchtower and wide enough to swallow the glen. Inside it the raiders could barely see their own hands. The ones who kept charging went sprawling over boulders and into each other; the careful ones crept at a walk. Behind the fog, Aine's villagers were already driving their cattle toward the hidden fold above Uallach.
