Dev note from Mike: I like the idea of a smoke line, as I don't want just another fire casting line like Fire Lord, or just another offensive melee line like Fiery Avenger. Smoke is one of those integral parts of fire, so i think it fits to have some offensive utility in a smoke like dealing with some degree of battlefield control dealing with line of sight.
Here are some ideas unordered to try to figure out what fits where with what balance.
* Add a persistent smoke effect to fire effects in the other two lines. Swinging a fire greatsword, shooting fire bolts, etc... leaves smoke behind that persists for bit resisting small winds and creating LoS barriers. Should be able to turn it on and off as desired.
* Ability to control smoke to adjust LoS barriers
* Ability to concentrate smoke on a target to deal non-lethal (lethal?) damage
* Ability to instantly deal lethal damage to all targets caught in smoke (standard action, as if a spell), maybe by igniting the smoke, maybe another thematic
