Dzarya's Obscuring Aura
Effect
For the duration, you hide a target that you touch and the area around them from divination magic. The target can be a willing creature or a place or an object no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. The targett is shrouded in a 10 ft. magical aura and can't be targeted by any divination magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors. This aura bestows the same effect to any willing creature within the aura's radius. This effect allowing divination magic cast inside of the aura to work as normal.
Any creatures within the aura's radius can leave the aura at any time.
Discovery
The spell was created by the githyanki wizard Dzarya, one of the members of the Lost Star Detectives that ended the Damnation of Elturel at the end of the 15th century CR.
During their adventures, the Detectives made frequent use of the hollyphant Lulu's innate magical negation aura, and Dzarya desired to study Lulu to learn how to replicate that effect in a spell. However, creating a spell that would negate nearly all spells that entered into the spell's aura proved unfeasible, and so Dzarya focused exclusively on blocking divination magic, which she successfully did in the early 16th century.
