One of my players took the Rift Fog arcane exploit, and during one of my sessions the question came up: Can you hit the same enemy twice in a round with the fog by spending two move actions? Spend the first to move the fog onto the enemy, they take damage and make a will save, then spend a move action to move the fog in a circle to trigger the same effect again.
Either way, I don't think Rift Fog is a powerful ability, but I was just very curious to hear what the intention is for this exploit. My player believes it is correct RAW and they can double tap the same target by spending two move actions, I'm not so sure RAI since it doesn't make logical sense to me. A creature spending a full round in the fog only gets hit once, but by moving the fog over 5 ft. it somehow doubles its effect?
Is Rift Fog intended to be used in this way?

According to RAW the answer is no.
"Once the fog ends its movement, coils of its otherworldly mist surround any targets that are wholly or partially in its area. "
If you move the cloud twice it technically didn't end its movement after the first move, so the first set of creatures shouldn't of made saves or taken damage. Once the arcanist has a group of creatures save, I wouldn't let him move it again.
