Spell Effects & Mechanics
- When invoked, this spell will protect against one Thaumaturgy spell. For example, if someone casts a See Magic spell on a character and they do not want to reveal that they possess any magic items, if the character invokes an Obscure spell then the caster will see no magic when they look at the target character.
- Important: Unlike most latent spells, an Obscure spell does not have to be announced when it is invoked; there is no characteristic flash of light when this defense is used. If a player invokes an Obscure spell in a manner that is not immediately obvious, they should consult with a Marshal to confirm that the spell was used. For example, if a character uses this spell against a Detect Curse spell to avoid suspicion that they are a werewolf, a Marshal should be informed.
- An Obscure spell cannot protect against nor prevent a Destroy Magic or Disrupt your Defenses spell.
