Summary

0000274: Replace smoke demon's steam ball with smoke ball

Description

This was discussed in ##crawl-dev and met general approval:

It's silly that we have a smoke demon that fires steam. So, replace the smoke demon "ball of steam" with "ball of smoke". This functions identically, except it instead creates a "cloud of choking/asphyxiating/whatever smoke", dark grey. Standing in this smoke checks asphyx resist only, with damage about equivalent to steam. Other types of smoke remain as identical - this is just a particularly nasty kind.

Tangential features which could be added:

*This may need to have no physical component on the "ball of smoke" portion of the attack, or do less damage per round than steam, because it is a buff to smoke demons otherwise (rFire won't resist it).

*This type of smoke could appear from some lava all of the time (e.g., Gehenna's lava only, or in Volcanoes), or all lava some of the time.

*Sticky Flame could create a cloud of this on the tile of the creature affected.
