Conjures a cloud of gray vapor that limits sight to 1 ft. and makes anyone moving quickly likely to stumble.
From the book
Calls up a 10x10x10 ft. cloud of dense gray vapor anywhere up to 100 ft. away, with another 10x10x10 ft. of mist for each level. Anyone who walks into it or is caught inside cannot see more than 1 ft. in any direction.

A scene
The Tharshi harbor guard have the elven sorcerer cornered between the warehouses of Tartessos when Aelwen flings out her hand and the alley behind her fills with thick gray vapor, wall to wall. The guards charge straight in. The first falls over a coil of rope, the second walks face first into a pillar, and the third, going slowly and sensibly, can see no further than the end of his nose. Somewhere beyond the mist, a boat pushes off. The fog will hang there, gray and silent, for a long time yet.
