Net of Shadows

[afata5]

Hey all,

I have been looking around at Beguiler builds, and I see that often the first advancment spell is " Net of Shadows".
I just want to make sure I understand the spell correctly:
you cast it on others to effectively blind them (they can only see 5 feet...so farther than that, they are blinded type of thing) and they have concelement (this is the 20% kind right? not the 50% kind....???). Basically that means that you shoot at them with a 20% miss chance and they can't see you if you are at a distance...right? :\

Is that how it works, or is it that they have total concelment if they are more than 5 feet away from *you or antoher player*? therefore if you are at more than 5 feet from them, you have a 50% miss chance....

Which is right?? Any other uses for the spell?

Thanks Alot!

Correct. It's 20%.

Correct. If you are adjacent to them, they have only a 20% miss chance.

No. You only have a 20% miss chance, however far you are from them.

Which is right??

See above.

Any other uses for the spell?

Off the top of my head, protection from rogues. They can't sneak attack anything with concealment.
