• Target: 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point within range

A swirling cloud of smoke shot through with white-hot embers appears in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point within range. The cloud spreads around corners and is heavily obscured. It lasts for the duration or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.

When the cloud appears, each creature in it must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 10d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature must also make this saving throw when it enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.

The cloud moves 10 feet directly away from you in a direction that you choose at the start of each of your turns.

The SendingStone review

Incendiary Cloud is a powerful spell available to Sorcerers and Wizards in Dungeons and Dragons. This spell creates a cloud of raging fire that can deal massive damage to those in its path. With a casting time of only one action and a duration of up to one minute, this spell can be devastating in combat situations. However, it does require concentration to maintain, so it may not be the best choice for all situations.

Some players may argue that the high level requirement for this spell makes it too difficult to access and use effectively. Additionally, the 10d8 damage potential may not be enough to justify the high spell level compared to other options. However, others may see it as a valuable addition to their spell arsenal, particularly for clearing out large groups of enemies or taking on tough boss monsters.

Overall, opinions on Incendiary Cloud may vary based on individual play style and preferences. It can be a powerful and flashy choice for those looking for a high-risk, high-reward spell option.
