[QUOTE="IceFractal, post: 3808368, member: 27704"] Maybe not enough precision for a flashlight effect, but it would be enough for the "Emanation Hat" trick here - the bottom opening could easily be a foot wide. However, there is one aspect of this trick that may prove problematic. For the hat to provide total cover, not just soft cover, it probably can't be part of a creature. That means it would count as a separate object supported by you, not part of your attended objects. Which means you would need a separate Invisibility for it. Another trick that works on the same principles. A tower shield blocks most magical effects when used to gain total cover, including Mordenkainen's Disjunction and Antimagic Field. If you want something a bit fancier that doesn't require a readied action, you can use Contingency + Minor Creation to make a thin wooden cylinder around yourself when a Disjunction or AMF comes your way. Apparently, it can even have view slits smaller than 1', which could be handy. [/QUOTE]
