While stories of powerful and cunning spellcasters turning themselves invisible is a popular trop in children's stories across Alwaus, the truth of the matter is that over fifteen millennia of arcane research has failed to produce a stable method of using magic to bend light in a way to create invisibility - until now. A recent and highly secretive development has produced the optical camo suit - a sleek set of enchanted fabrics contained within a complicated harness system harnesses hundreds of overlapping micro-enchantments to detect the background behind the bearer and "project" it on the other side of their body in form of a minor illusion spell. The effect is impressive, albeit imperfect - as the result creates a sort of "bend" in the area the wearer is standing, creating a tell-tale shimmer alerting savvy observers to the bearer's location. The effect is more than potent enough to work on those at a distance or don't know to look for the enchantment's side effect.
