Sand Shadow

(Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 2nd Range: Touch Components: V, S, M Area of Effect: 1 creature Casting Time: 2 Duration: 3 hours Saving Throw: None The sand shadow conceals one being completely as long as the recipient is mostly or wholly in shadow. Only those using magical detection can see him. If the recipient moves from shadow to shadow by crossing an unshaded area, he suddenly appears in the light, then vanishes again, and can do this repeatedly. The spell lasts three hours. It cannot be ended prematurely by will of the caster or the recipient. However, dispel magic ends the sand shadow effect when cast upon the recipient. A light spell also makes the recipient visible again, but only while he remains within the light's area of effect. A concealed recipient might also reveal his position by picking up an object--which remains visible unless a separate sand shadow spell is cast upon it. The recipient can attack and be attacked without disrupting the sand shadow spell. Attack rolls against the recipient suffer a -4 THAC0 penalty. The recipient's vision is not altered by the spell. The casting of this spell requires a pinch of dry sand and an eyelash, which are tossed into the air.
