	Obfuscation
Abbreviation:	`OB`
Prerequisites:	None
Minimum Prep:	2
Casting Cap:	59
Valid Spell Target:	Self
Description:	The Obfuscation spell projects a psychic field that blunts the mind with a sense of placid normalcy in all those touched by it. This draws less critical attention to the magician, assisting him in any attempt to stay unperceived. It was difficult for the other Guilds to get a clear grasp on the Obfuscation spell, but then again, that was always the point. After all, what self-respecting Philosopher would allow him or herself to be found out by the unscientific philistines? Finally, lost or possibly leaked notes were discovered that hinted at the reason why Necromancers were so bloody difficult to find. The Corruption mutation of Obfuscation, like most Corruption magics, is very subtle. It normalizes the caster so that they appear more like the 'everyman'. People simply just don't want to spend time looking at them, their eyes are encouraged to simply slide by the boring specimen of mundanity. While this won't stop a Necromancer who's drawing attention to themselves from being noticed, it apparently does quite a bit to let them practice their arts in obscurity.
Example Messaging:	You gesture. You project around yourself a field that suggests total normalcy to any who view you, drawing some measure of attention away from you and making it easier to conceal yourself.

At 10 mana gives at least 11 ranks at 32 hiding, 29 stalking (Stalking RT drops to 5 seconds)
At 19 mana gives at least 28 ranks at 93 hiding (drops RT to 4 seconds)
At 26 mana gives at least 29 ranks at 151 hiding (drops RT to 3 seconds)
At 34 mana gives at least 41 ranks at 80 hiding (drops RT to 4 seconds) and 79 stalking (drops RT to 3 seconds)
At 44 mana gives at least 46 ranks at 194 hiding (drops RT to 2 seconds)
At 45 mana gives 51 ranks of hiding/stalking. Hiding RT dropped to 3 seconds as soon as 129th hiding rank gained.
At 59 mana gives 60 ranks at 120 hiding (drops RT to 3 seconds)
Maximum duration is 20 minutes.
