-If timed in coordination with changes in the caster's appearance, such as [[Alter Self (spell)|alter self]], [[Invisibility (spell)|invisibility]], [[Polymorph Self|polymorph self]] and so on, the smokepuff could provide a dramatic effect.  While a single caster couldn't employ both the cantrip and a spell at the same time, an associate with the cantrip could provide the smokepuff at the proper moment.  Additionally, various magic items might also be used to "store" the cantrip, for release at the proper moment.

 Thus by this means, a caster could literally disappear in a puff of smoke, or transform into a dragon, or appear to be transformed into someone else.

 __TOC__
-If the puff is cast upon another character [[Spellcasting|discharging]] some other spell — such as [[Invisibility (spell)|invisibility]] — then the obscurity caused could effectively hide the effect or source of that other magic.  In the case of invisibility, the character would be covered by smoke and then would just "disappear."  Various other ways of enhancing other magic with a smokepuff could be innovated; however, a single caster cannot discharge a spell and also discharge smokepuff at the same time; spellcasting is limited against this sort of thing.  It would need to be a cooperative effort with a minimum of two casters.

-The caster of smokepuff can choose the colour of the smoke.

 If cast upon an enemy hex — someone unprepared for the effect — they will be blinded for one round.  If attempting to move out of the smokepuff, they will enter a random adjacent hex before getting their bearings and adjusting for it.  Otherwise, the puff will simply dissipate without harm.

+'''Smokepuff''' is a cantrip that summons a miniature cloud of vibrant smoke, enveloping the area of a [[Combat Hex|combat hex]], drifting marginally over the hex's edges.  The cloud swiftly disperses, but for a single round the person within is effectively invisible and -8 [[Roll to Hit|to hit]].  Under the right circumstances, the shrouded character has time to disappear through a doorway, a hole in the floor or perhaps around a corner, with just enough time to flee without being seen.
