If not contained in some other way, the smoke will stay in place for a number of rounds equal to the casters Power Modifier, then expand out to an area tariff that size for ssh n additional number of rounds equal to the Power Modifier. At this point, the spot check penalty is refused to -5 with a penalty of -15 for smell related perception checks.

Beyond that, the smoke dissipates at s natural rate.
