The center point of the spell must be underwater, but the spell aerates the water and creates a thick algae-laden fog within the area for the spell’s effects and duration. Any creature within the cloud (on land or underwater) must make a Fort. save or take 6d6 points of damage in the first round and 2d6 points of damage in the following round. The victim also becomes nauseated, allowing only a single move-equivalent action each round. Targets that do make their save still suffer 3d6 points of damage, but do not suffer any more damage and are not nauseated.
