All creatures within the cloud become [[Conditions/Concealed|Concealed]], and all creatures outside the cloud become concealed to creatures within it. The cloud deals 5d10 slashing damage to any creature that starts its turn in the area, with a basic Fortitude save.\n\nMetal that rusts off of a creature adds to the cloud. When a metal creature takes damage from the cloud, the cloud's area increases by 5 feet (to a maximum of a 40-foot burst), and the creature starts to rust, taking 1d4 persistent slashing damage. You can Dismiss the cloud.\n* * *\n\n**Heightened (+2)** The cloud's slashing damage increases by 1d10 and the persistent damage increases by 1d4." sourcebook: "_Pathfinder Rage of Elements_" ```
