Fake magics vs REAL magics

cause hes a BUM WHO LIKES MUD MAGIC!!! DEATH TO MUDDY EATERS!!! MUD MAGIC WILL BE ERADICATED

I hope you sink in a swamp, for making such an outrageous accusation.

the original magics are;
earth, water, wind, fire, lightning, light, shadow
the others are lesser lost, meaning you misplaced 3 magics in this one chief

cover for your troops or a smokescreen for your enemies. area control can be very useful

i think this would be in a similar place to metal, since you’re just controlling the water inside the plants and not the plants themselves

For the magic, it would dissipate soon enough for it to not even matter, and as long as it’s a magical cloud it could be very well just be pushed away by any other spell.

As for the Curse, yes it could do that, but so could any other Curse. A Curse user can make literally anything out of their Curse to act a blockade, a cloud would be the least effective of them.

And this also begs the question, why would someone train all their life just to act as a support class, when given the chance they could very well mutate it to a much better Magic, and be able to play a much more active role?

Isn’t cloud like awful at everything except some support stuff, which even then it is outclassed in?

Like it’s kinda fast but there are faster magics, it’s kinda good at obscuring things but there are things better at it, etc. then it just sucks at combat.
