That's 22 points, and will allow you to create large areas of fairly nasty gas that just does 1d damage on skin contact, straight up no resistance, and the victim starts retching after taking HP/3 injury. In theory, you can add 22 1second cycles, but that's probably overkill.

It does sound like this is a meta-game issue that you're trying to solve in-game. That doesn't usually work and you may want to reconsider your approach.

What is the increased 1/2dx 10 for?
