I agree with both of you. I just found that this is partly caused by a
problem with normal accuracy (bug posted to p.b-t, go confirm it for me if
it's really a bug =) ), so I'm using a workaround now and working on
improving the normal. Hopefully it'll be better next time around.

Actually, there is, but it just looks like a shadow =) I might work that
into the function of the ground itself rather than using a prism cut out of
the ground, since that obviously looks unrealistic.

Hmm... actually, the clouds are about 900 units above the smoke (to give you
a sense of scale, the tallest landform is four units large) =) but I'll
consider that.

Thanks both of you =)
