Narquin’s Mist of Doom

What's it called? Narquin’s Mist of Doom (in short, NMD)

What does it do? It causes your opponents and yourself a bit of damage. Generally, more to them than to you. The mechanism is as follows: first one cuts oneself, and from the blood invokes a poisonous mist. Then, the said mist is sent towards your adversaries.
As to the uses of the spell, I tended to find it reasonably handy at low levels. A newbie wizard that wants to get beyond the Occular Lance but is still unable to Pragi can make a certain use of this spell and the fire-bunnies. The main handicap, aside from the relatively low damage, is the auto-damage made in casting, which can stop the spell. This can generally be avoided with some more robustness (i.e. other.health).
The mist also affects trolls efectively, so if you have the will and the mindspace, it might come handy as a troll-finisher, if you don't have or don't want to spend torches and candles...

Where is it? We're talking about some interesting and amusing nigromancy here, so the spell lies inside the Body Parts for the Advanced Student grimoire, at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require? A knife. And having blood in your veins (some hps are spent). If you are under the protection of a troll skin, it might be necessary to use the jagged sparky knife, but it isn't recommended (some say the uses of the knife weaken the trollskin).

What skills do I need? Summoning, Healing, Abjuring, Animating

Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:

You prepare to cast Narquin’s Mist of Doom on xxx.
You beckon to the spirits of blood.
You cut your arm and let your blood spill out and pool at your feet.
You call to the bood to rise forth and bond with air.
You send forth the mists to consume xxx.
The black mist washes over xxx causing his skin to crackle and burn as if it were splashed with acid.
