Miasma is an offensive spell designed to hinder enemies, and a racial perk for Stalfos. As such, a Stalfos can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a Stalfos chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed cost.

To cast it, the caster sprays a dark purple gas from either his hands or mouth, which persists in a small cloud for several minutes. The cloud's diameter is typically 10 feet (or just over 3 meters). When this gas touched or breathed in, a person will immediately begin to experience nausea, dizziness, and stomach pains that persist for several minutes. The affected will cough and gag if it is inhaled. These effects make fighting difficult, but not impossible. This spell is only fatal if a person breathes Miasma for a full minute or longer. Any creature that is undead or has a Dark Affinity is unaffected by Miasma, but a caster who is neither of these can be affected, after the gas has been expelled.

Miasma can only be cast when several minutes have passed since the cloud's dispersion. Under normal conditions, this is immediately after the last cloud produced by it disperses. Normally, this spell can only be recast once three minutes have passed. With one level of Magic Power, the recast is reduced to two minutes. With two levels of Magic Power, its recast period is reduced to only one minute.

The Miasma treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Spirit Adept.
