This spell creates a thin, greasy, stationary greenish mist that carries a potent odor. While this odor is unpleasant to most creatures, it is horrible 10 trolls. Trolls failing to make a successful saving throw vs. spell at a +4 bonus leave the area of the mist for the duration of the spell, refusing to enter again until it is gone.
The mist is easily dispersed, making it useless in even a light breeze. The spellcaster must concentrate during the duration of the spell, or the mist instantly disperses.
The material components are a bit of ragweed, some troll dung, and an open flame.
Notes: Common for orc witch-doctors; otherwise, very rare. Optionally rare for alchemists. Originally from the Goblin Marches in the Forgotten Realms setting.
