Smokestick

Source Core Rulebook

This alchemically treated wooden stick instantly creates thick, opaque smoke when burned. The smoke fills a 10-foot cube (treat the effect as a fog cloud spell, except that a moderate or stronger wind dissipates the smoke in 1 round). The stick is consumed after 1 round, and the smoke dissipates naturally after 1 minute.

Alchemical Power Components

Source Adventurer’s Armory

Smokesticks work best with spells that create clouds or smoke.

• Fog Cloud (M): Increase the radius of the cloud by 5 feet.
• Obscuring mist (M): The spell creates a smoky haze instead of mist. This haze cannot be dispersed by fire spells and dissipates naturally after 1 minute.
• Pyrotechnics (M): Increase the radius of the cloud by 5 feet and the duration by 2 rounds.

An alchemical power component is an alchemical item used as a material component or focus for a spell in order to alter or augment the spell’s normal effects. What follows is a sample of these effects using this item as a component; your GM may allow other combinations.

• Spells followed by an (M) expend the alchemical item as a material component;
• Spells followed by an (F) use the item as a focus and do not expend it.

In both cases, the alchemical item does not have its normal effect and does not affect any other parameters of the spell. You cannot use the same item as both a focus and a material component at the same time.
