This magic enables the caster to render a single item utterly undetectable. The item can be any nonliving thing smaller than the caster's total body mass, as long as the caster carries or touches it. The spell conceals even magical and alignment auras, and shows true seeing a blank, wavering area of white fog where the item is.

This spell is usually used to conceal a carried magical item or weapon. Priests of Vhaeraun typically use it to hide holy symbols (when cast on any holy symbol, spell duration is tripled). Developed by a priestess of Lolth, this spell has been requested of Vhaeraun by most of his priests and granted to them also.

Its material component is a small handful (about 2 ounces) of the dust of any powdered gem-stone (cheap stones, such as quartz, work fine).

Notes: Granted by the drow powers Lolth and Vhaeraun.
