To create a smoke bridge, a priest (usually a shaman) calls upon the elemental spirits of fire. From the smoke of a burning fire the priest magically shapes a bridge of the desired shape and length (but no more than 300 yards long). Once the bridge is shaped, it becomes as solid as a comparable bridge of stone, and slays that way for the duration of the spell. This spell can also be used to create a similar staircase or ladder of equal length and stability.

When the spell ends, the smoke returns to its original gaseous form and slowly drifts away.

Notes: Rare for oriental priests; otherwise, virtually unknown.
