• Markoheshkir

This spell is a variation of:
 Kereska's Favour

Notes

• The in-game tooltip for this spell says its effect inflicts Noxious Fumes for 1 turn, but it actually inflicts it for 3 turns. It also requires a DC 13  Dexterity saving throw to apply the condition.
• Possibly applying Noxious Fumes can only occur once per attack. A spell hitting multiple targets will still only make a single saving throw for one of the targets to apply the condition.
• This is the only variant of  Kereska's Favour that requires a saving throw to inflict its condition. The ice, thunder, and poison variants all apply their respective conditions without a saving throw.
• The version of  Melf's Acid Arrow granted by this spell matches the damage of a level 5 upcasted version (7d4Acid + 5d4Acid delayed), but it only counts as a level 2 spell.
