Talk:Acid Surge (Dark Souls II)/@comment-4511886-20140604102302

This is, aside from a trolling tool with proper application, a perfect "curtain" style magic to hide yourself or the magic you're about to use, for a few reasons.

First of all, its the least favorable of the gas magics (Surge/Mist/Fog magic) to run through due to the possibly fatal effects of equipment breakage and the fact that it might cost up to tens of thousands of souls to undo the damage.

Secondly, its color is alot brighter than other gas magics which makes it quite an eyesore to look at.

And third, it appears to be thicker and stay for longer (have yet to confirm the latter) than Poison Mist, meaning that its effect as cover is considerably better, in terms of duration.
