D&D 5E Incendiary Cloud Spell !!!

[maritimo80]

Friends, where in our play session, we get a little doubt in Incendiary Cloud Spell. The Spell speaks ... "The cloud moves 10 feet directly away from you in the direction That You choose at the start of each of your turns." ... So The CASTER can only shake the cloud of it, and never bring it? It was kind of confusing text of spell for us (""AWAY""). Is that so?

Yes, the cloud never moves toward the caster, only away. Your DM may change this if winds are strong, but by the rules you quote it is only supposed to move away, like you're pushing it. Never pulling.

Yes, I concur. To clarify for [MENTION=6782370]maritimo80[/MENTION] think of polar coordinates: caster is center of circle, direction is angle 0-360 degrees.

yes, 'away' means it must move away from you on your turn.
