@trace400Does ‘incendiary cloud’ move directly away from you, or in a direction you choose? Check out the final sentence of the spell for the answer.

@trace400So it does both, then? But ‘directly away from you’ doesn’t give you much of a choice, does it? There’s a reason I asked. You choose its heading.

So, in other words, the “directly away from you” does not apply? Or is it a case of “any colour you choose, as long as you choose black”?
Yeah, it’s not as clear as Jeremy thinks it is.
It seems like you can choose to have it move left or right but it still moves further away? But why didn’t they decide it just works like Moonbeam or Dawn?
