Smokeless fire?

Most excellent. I can definitely work with this.

The only question left is how to avoid polluting the ecosystem. After all, runoff from mills and factories tends to be a problem.

Perhaps you can route the scrubbing water though a magical trap that is set to cast Purify Food and Drink so the runoff is made harmless.

Another excellent suggestion. I hope to have a magically driven system/machine designed shortly to filter out any and all impurities so as to leave to affect in the surrounding countryside.

Or run it through a Gate into another plane of existence...then it becomes their problem, not yours.

Take ranks in Profession (Environmentalist) and Craft (Drainage System)?

Gate works both ways.

Gate works both ways.

You'd want a portcullis installed across your side of the Gate, of course.

I would have given a rep point but need tospread the points a bit first.

Random encounters could probably negate it.

I recall a spell, I believe it was a low level Druid spell, in 3.x, that magically made fire smoke go away. It could have been a magic item.

However, now that I'm really looking for it, I cannot find it.

Does this exist or is my brain fuzzy?

The spell you are looking for is this:

GROUNDSMOKE (Transmutation)

Level: Sor/wiz 0, Rgr 1, Drd 0
Components: V,S
Casting time: 1 standard action
Target: One fire no larger that 5ft2
Duration: 8 hours
Saving throw: None
Spell resistance: No

This spell prevents natural smoke from rising into the air. The smoke instead rolls out from the fire and dissipates into the ground about six inches from the source.

It was in some DRAGON magazine, but i do not recall which #...

However the above text is the exact copy. I 've copied it for i use it my games quite often...
Its perfect for camping in a cave for example...without choking to death from your own camp fire....(!!!!!)

This is it. Thank you. I knew this spell existed out there someplace, I didn't even think to hunt the Dragon Magazines. I will want to incorporate this into my fires.

HOWEVER, due to the feedback I've received in this thread, I will also be designing a mechanical/magical system to purify water and air so as to leave no trace of manmade effects upon anything that would exit my fortress, as well as design a system to purify all water, air and whatnot that will be entering my fortress. Just 'cause.
