Steam Breath (Wizard Spell)

The wu jen expels a powerful breath of super­heated steam that billows forth from the caster's mouth, instantly filling a cone 30 feet long and 20 feet wide at the far end with scalding clouds of mist.
The steam inflicts 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster, to a maximum of 10d6. A saving throw vs. breath weapon is allowed for half damage. Creatures from the Elemental Plane of Water take half damage (save for none). Creatures from the Elemental Plane of Fire take one additional point of damage for every die of damage.
Further, normal fires in the area of effect are extinguished and magical fires are 50% likely to be extinguished, although those that can be rekindled are not permanently affected. The steam clouds dissipate instantly once the spell is cast.
The material component for this spell is a glowing piece of charcoal doused with water.
Notes: Common in oriental settings; other­wise, very rare.
