Poison Mist is a Pyromancy in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). Poison Mist is a fringe pyromancy of unknown origin that conjures a cloud of poisonous mist. Pyromancies are offensive fire spells that do not demand Faith or Intelligence prerequisites and can be executed with a Pyromancy Flame or Dark Pyromancy Flame. The fire damage scales with Intelligence and Faith, yet there are no specific stat requirements for casting pyromancies. However, opponents resistant to fire damage remain unaffected by Pyromancy Spells.

"A fringe pyromancy of unknown origin. Creates a cloud of poison mist. 
This spell contradicts the very principles of pyromancy, suggesting that its creator had a heretical streak."

Poison Mist Notes and Tips in Dark Souls 2

• Deals 1095 damage over 20 seconds.
• Builds up at the same rate as Toxic Mist.
• Poison buildup is unaffected by Crest of the Rat or Sanctum Soldier Gauntlets
• The duration is unaffected by the Lingering Dragoncrest Ring.
• This is an inferior version of Toxic Mist, dealing 300 less damage.
• The only reason why one would prefer it over Toxic Mist is if you also use poison-infused weapons together with it, which would help you build up the poison effect on the enemy more easily.
