Mistwalker's Veil

Mistwalker's Veil

3rd-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a wisp of cloud or a handful of fog captured at dawn)
Duration: 1 hour


Mistwalker's Veil is an illusion spell that enshrouds the caster in a cloak of shifting mist, rendering them nearly invisible and silent, akin to a ghost haunting the foggy moors. This spell is more than mere concealment; it's an embodiment of the elusive and enigmatic nature of mist, a magical blending with the ethereal qualities of fog and vapor.


Upon casting, the caster's body becomes enveloped in a swirling, silvery mist. This mist clings to their form, moving with them, and mimicking their movements with a fluid grace. The air around them cools, and a faint, damp scent reminiscent of early morning fog permeates the air.


Cloak of Invisibility: While shrouded in this mist, the caster becomes nearly invisible. Their form blurs and fades, making them difficult to discern from their surroundings. This near-invisibility grants the caster advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks and imposes disadvantage on attack rolls against them from creatures that rely on sight.


Silencing Aura: The mist also dampens sound around the caster, lending them an eerie silence as they move. This effect grants advantage on any checks made to move silently or hide, further enhancing the caster's ability to evade detection or ambush unsuspecting targets.


Ethereal Movement: While under the effect of Mistwalker's Veil, the caster gains the ability to move through spaces as if they were difficult terrain. They can glide effortlessly over water, slip through narrow cracks, and navigate treacherous surfaces with ease, as the mist supports and guides their movements.


At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by 30 minutes for each slot level above 3rd.
