You may as well argue that rod of ignition and rod of clouds fill the same design, because rod of clouds can create fire clouds. Which would be OK, but your words are not exactly crystal clear.

Most cards in the deck of destruction are variations on existing spells. Do you think deck of destruction should be expunged from Crawl?
Pollen_Golem wrote:Surely you don't think that limiting their spread to 1 tile wouldn't matter. And the limited range of glaciate is something to consider, too.
