Duration:  2d4 rounds
Casting Time:  1

Upon casting this spell, the wizard creates an ink cloud in the water, similar to that which an octopus releases. The cloud covers a 20-foot circular area, either at the casters position or at any location within spell range. The ink cloud remains stationary for the duration of the spell, unless cast in moving water (such as a river), where it dissipates in one round. The cloud will block all vision, including infravision. When the spell expires, the ink cloud vanishes.
The material component of this spell is the eye of an octopus.
