The sky above you darkens as you cast this spell, the clouds gathering briefly before breaking into a heavy downpour of rain.

Downpour fills the entire area of the spell with heavy rainfall. This rain reduces visibility to one-quarter normal distances and imposes a -6 penalty to Perception checks and to all ranged attacks made in the area. All unprotected flames in the area are extinguished, and protected flame has a 50% chance each round of going out. The torrential rain is heavy enough that it imposes penalties on fire magic: creatures are treated as being underwater for the purposes of using fire magic or fire-based supernatural abilities. This penalty is also applied to any spells or fire-based abilities used outside of the area of rainfall and projected into it.
