-- Fog witches require proficiency with the Osiran language, but that is probably a special effect in GURPS.

-- In BESM they have a somewhat limited ability set:

Environmental Control (partial darkness) --> Obscure (Vision) w/ Area Effect

Wouldn't this be an Obscure based on fog/smoke rather than darkness per se?

Maybe Innate Attack (Rigid Wall) instead so it's semipermanent barriers with some HP as well as DR, until dissolved? Start off with Crushing (the worst that happens is you take collision damage from running into it; No Wounding if it's cushy and yielding so you get stopped without harm), then add other damage types as AAs or linked Wall effects - Burning w/Surge for an electrified barrier, Corrosive for a nanofog barrier that tries to eat what impacts it, etc.

And this would then cleanly allow Permeation that lets you pass through your own and other's nanofog barriers.

Do the targets need to have nanotech of some kind in them already, or can this involve sending fog nanites out to infiltrate their brains? Quick Contest vs. Will, or vs. HT since it's neurological? Is there a Resistance available?

Could this extend to include vision in other spectra, or even Clairsentience, i.e., remote viewing using sensors at long distances? 360 Vision or Vibration Sense?

Can you have the fog infiltrate 'fresh' brains so you can read and send thoughts with them as well?

Is the use of the fog fatiguing? Maybe it would be possible to actually do the abilities with a subset of spells from GURPS Magic, with ghost fog substituting for Mana.
