I could ... put her out of her misery.  Not only would it allow poor Timbre to finally be with her lost love, the shock of seeing their beloved dryad dead would surely cease the Seela from singing the song.  What do you think?"[GM]Lars, hiding a spell in plain sight is pretty tricky stuff, since you need feats such as still and silent spell to avoid having to do your somatic and verbal components.  Thus, you're facing penalty on the bluff roll (-5 for being unlikely).  Generally, I would suggest that you use the sleight of hand skill if you want to do stuff like this.  Lets go with your Bluff for now, and I'll oppose with Vuhl's Sense Motive to be consistent.Also, if you're going to cast spells in your studded leather armor, you need to pass your 15% arcane spell failure check.  I've rolled it for you below.
