Shroud (Evocation) 

Range: Touch

Components: V,S,M

Duration: 1 round/level

Casting Time: 5 rounds

Area of Effect: 1 person

Saving Throw: None

 When the spell is cast, a shroud of darkness envelops the caster. The shrouded character will become invisible whenever in a darkened area. The shroud confers the same hide in shadow percentage that a thief of the same level as the caster would have.

However, a shrouded character can be detected when walking in front of a solid object such as furniture or a tree because the object is blocked from view. Also the shroud spell will not serve its purpose in light. Although it can be used to dispel a continual light spell.

Shrouded persons do not become visible if engaged in battle. In melee, they are -4 to be hit and have a +4 to all of their saving throws.

The material components of a shroud spell are a 2-foot-square piece of black cloth.
