 In any hex adjacent to the wall of fog, visibility is limited to one hex when looking into the fog, or extends to three hexes when looking along its edge. Visibility remains completely normal when looking away from the wall.
 A [[Gust of Wind (spell)|gust of wind]] spell can cut through a wall of fog with great force, driving the vapour aside and creating a clear passage through the affected area; on the round following its discharge, the space directly struck by the wind is completely cleared of fog. This effect is immediate and does not require the fog to dissipate naturally, though the surrounding vapour remains and may close in again if the spell's duration has not yet ended.
-Stronger [[Beaufort Scale|winds]] are capable of dispersing a greater portion of the fog, or removing it entirely, depending upon their strength and area of effect. In all such cases, the fog yields readily to sustained or forceful air movement, breaking apart and thinning in response, rather than resisting or reforming against it.

-'''Wall of fog''' conjures a dense wall of misty vapour that greatly limits visibility within the affected area, including [[Infravision|infravision]] and [[Ultravision (spell)|ultravision]].  The fog may be created anywhere, over land or water, passing through the middle of buildings or along a corridor, as high or as deep as the caster wishes within their ability.
+'''Wall of fog''' conjures a dense wall of misty vapour that severely limits visibility within the affected area, obscuring normal sight as well as [[Infravision|infravision]] and [[Ultravision (spell)|ultravision]]. The fog may be created at any chosen location, whether over land or water, and may extend through buildings, across open ground or along confined spaces such as corridors. Its height and depth are determined by the caster, within the limits of their ability.

-The fog is completely harmless, though creatures with an [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] of less than 4 will "go to ground" in it.  When the spell's duration comes to an end, the fog will require three complete rounds to evaporate, improving visibility by two [[Combat Hex|hexes]] each round, until the effect is completely gone and full visibility is restored.
+When the spell's duration ends, the fog does not vanish at once, but dissipates gradually over three complete rounds. During this time, visibility improves steadily, expanding by two [[Combat Hex|hexes]] each round, until the vapour has entirely dispersed and full visibility is restored.
