Sir Lazuli wrote: Creating a huge fog or poison?

“The river rushed up in steam and a fog fell on Dale, and in the fog the dragon came on them and destroyed most of the warriors–the usual unhappy story, it was only too common in those days.” - The Hobbit

Withering fields, forests, and crops?

“Then he came down upon the slopes and when he reached the woods they all went up in fire.” - The Hobbit

Solution: Dragons!

Sorry lazuli but that... is not magic the 'fog' is smoke, smaug simply lit the forest ablaze.

@Creeperkid: Can't remember where I heard this but I believe the Black Numenorean mages had the ability to summon plagues, and cover land in darkness.
