[QUOTE="Persiflage, post: 5269020, member: 73597"] Hmmm... new thought. What about this: You can make an object appear to be the subject "of a spell you specify" with no limit. Obviously this wouldn't work at all if it didn't duplicate the apparent power of the spell you specify, so you could grant a handful of pebbles or suchlike the aura of a 9th-level spell, effectively masking any weaker auras in the area. 1st level spell, day/level duration, so dirt cheap to use on a bunch of small objects which can be scattered around the room: is this the magical equivalent of an aniseed bonb to throw off dogs, or chaff to distract an incoming missile? And as the [I]Arcane Sight[/I] spell description references [I]Detect Magic[/I] as its basic mode of operation, presumably these high-powered "aura bombs" would also prevent invisible or hiding characters from being spotted, or at least make [I]Arcane Sight [/I]less-than-automatically successful. Just idle musings: I'm sure there are lots of reasons why this couldn't work. [/QUOTE]
