This spell precipitates a rush of water out of the air, instantly drenching everything in the area of effect. Normal fires are extinguished. Permanent magical fires go out, but reignite in 1d2 rounds. (Weapons relight in one round.) Fire-based spells of 1st or 2nd level are negated immediately.

Fire-based spells of 3rd level are also negated, but create a steam cloud with a 80-foot diameter. Those within the steam cloud are scalded for 1d3 points of damage the first round. Cold-based creatures suffer double this damage. The steam cloud lasts 1d4+1 rounds, half that in a breeze, and but one round in a strong wind.

The cloudburst spell has doubled duration in humid climates, causes a heavy dampness in arid climates, produces slush and sleet at temperatures near freezing, and creates up to 12 inches of snow if the temperature is below freezing.
