[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9047544, member: 6879661"] In a war based campaign you could have the skywriting be coded instruction for troop movements, assault coordinates and bombardmentd. “Griffon Rampant Blue Recumbent” with a mission to capture the codes. It could be one of the markers of a tactically and magically advanced race like the Githyanki. Secondly it could be used similar to the Dark Mark in the Harry Potter films. To strike fear into people’s hearts. A calling card. For evil deeds. You can make the writing appear as sinister as you want. The words can be any language you like. I have no problem with this allowing symbols as well as many languages in D&D use symbols. The Vaati for instance or the Aboleth. As for the duration. If the spell can be used on clouds, then obviously the winds that move clouds aren’t sufficient to move the clouds. Some form of storm is required. Is it going to be used a lot. Obviously not. But as part of the right campaign or circumstances, Absolutely. I’m thinking the Hell’s Rebels campaign for instance. [/QUOTE]
