Stealth can really be an advantage to characters and magic is one of the best ways to be stealthy. The normal ways deal with invisibility and spells like that. Spells of Stealth presents new spells that aid in stealth and many are invisibility based. This collection of spells is pretty good and gives the reader what they say they are.
Spells of Stealth is a PDF by Red Anvil Productions. They have a line of PDF in the series that take a single topic and present wizard spells for it. The PDFs are small this one is only six pages long. The layout and writing are basic and simple. There are no book marks in the PDF as well.
There are spells of first to ninth level and three epic spells that they also identify as being tenth, eleventh, and twelfth circle spells. The first spell is Sneak. It is a scaling spell that does not seem start working until fifth level the way it is written. The second level spell is Flour Cloud. It is kind of amusing since I have seen and read people that use flour to figure out were invisible creatures are. This spell does basically the same thing.
Invisibility Plus is a third level spell. I like this one as it takes the invisibility and also has it affect an additional sense. So the character can be invisible and also not make a sound or perhaps not have a scent. Phalter is a neat fourth level one that makes people not remembers the wizard has been to a place. Invisible Evocation is another cool spell that allows a wizards spell to be totally invisible though the effects are still easily seen.
The epic spells are very interesting. One makes everything of a certain type invisible for miles. It would last for many weeks and could have some impressive uses for a clever player. Another one makes the Phalter spell permanent on the caster. No one would remember seeing the person at all anywhere he went. That is a good spell that has many plot lines a DM can use to really have some fun. .
The higher level spells I think might be a little weak for there level and lack the creativity of the earlier ones. Some of them build off the earlier ones so it is just a better version of another spell. The lower level spells here though are nice variety for stealth and should be the type most stealthy wizards especially arcane trickster types will really be able to make good use of.
The book does the job it sets out to do. It gives the reader a variety of new stealth type spells one of each spell level. It does not give any history and context to which the spells are creator or who uses them. There is a little bit on one of the epic spells that should limit its availability but without any more context it is hard to do that. A DM though can easily make up information to fill in the information gabs.
