Ok so I have been reading over the wizards special abilities with each school. I have a few questions;
a wizard with the earth specialization
**Rules on acid cloud** Acid Cloud (Su): As a standard action, you can create a 5-foot-radius cloud of acid vapor within 30 feet that lasts for 1 round. This cloud deals 1d6 points of acid damage + 1 point for every two wizard levels you possess to all creatures in the cloud and sickens them for 1 round. Creatures that begin their turn inside the cloud can move out that turn without penalty, but those that enter the cloud are affected.
-So a wizard (Ted) on round 1 (which he won) uses his ability to include a Orc in the area, does the orc(on his turn still in round 1) then have a chance to just step out of the cloud and not take any damage?
a wizard specialized in fire
**rules on Dancing Flames** Dancing Flame (Su): At 8th level, as a standard action, you can sculpt fire to suit your desires. With one use of this ability you can move any non magical fire up to 30 feet. Alternatively you can use this ability to alter any fire spell that you cast with a duration of instantaneous by removing any number of squares from its area of affect. If the fire spell has a duration, you can use this ability to reposition the spell, within its original range (treat this as if you had just cast the spell, even though the duration is unchanged). You cannot use this ability on a fire spell that you did not cast. If you move a non magical f lame, it must have a new source of fuel. If it does not, it is extinguished in one round.
-Scenario 1..So Ted is on a ship that is 30 feet wide and is completely on fire. With this ability would he be able to move all non magical fire 30 feet either port or starboard and completely extinguish the fire??
-Scenario 2... Ted and his party of 4 are completely surrounded by orcs, he launches a fireball at his feet. Can he just clear the 5 or however many squares he wants so all party members are safe and all effected area squares of orcs are turned into charcoal?
Thanks,

The orc would take damage when you use this ability (on your turn) and could step out of the cloud on his turn to avoid further damage.
Fire question 1: Yes.
Fire Question 2: Yes.
So for the acid cloud when it is summoned the orc only takes damage if he is with in the cloud when it comes bakc to the wizards turn... Correct??

The orc would take damage when you create the cloud around him or if he ends his turn in the cloud (or if any creature moves through the cloud, they take damage). They are basically making it hard to hit the same creature twice with this ability.
ahh gotcha' thanks for the clarification
