This spell stops other creatures noticing the hidden creature. If the other creatures fail their saving throw, make a Sneak check with a +20 bonus opposed by the other creatures' Notice check. You do not require cover or concealment to attempt this check. If successful, the other creatures cannot sense the hidden creature, even with extraordinary or supernatural sensory capabilities like blindsense, blindsight, scent, and tremorsense. If the creatures were not previously aware of the hidden creature, they simply act as though the hidden creature is not there. However, if it has reason to believe an unseen opponent is present, it can attempt to find or strike them.
If a creature is currently being attacked by the warded creature, it receives a new saving throw with a bonus of +5. It is also practically impossible to remain hidden from a creature you are attacking: if the other creature fails its saving throw, you must make a new Sneak check with a -20 penalty in addition to the +20 bonus conferred by the spell.
Items dropped or put down by a hidden creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes hidden, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 10 feet from it is visible.
Restriction: Choose one type of creature when you learn this spell. This spell only works on creatures of that type.
Heightened: Each additional 2 Power points adds +5 to the enhancement bonus of the Sneak check.
