Shadowing a suspect can be a critical part of investigation. This spell affects a single creature; it warps her perceptions, subliminally encouraging her to ignore you. This results in a -3 penalty to any Spot, Search, or Listen checks she makes against you for the duration of the effect. However, if the victim does notice you through a successful skill check or due to your own actions the enchantment is immediately broken.

Focus: A small, ovoid piece of quartz wrapped in a strip of black cloth. The quartz can be of low quality, and the cost is negligible.
