At that point the miasma appears in a 30ft radius up to 90ft away in an area the dragon can see.Deals poison damage, save halvesIt doesn’t say how it works, only what it doesSpit is the best I came up with, not really a miasma though nor does it require the dragon to see that area imo (could be behind a wall)</blockquote>
