Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 hour/level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: 1 object
Saving Throw: None
This spell is used to conceal an object by transporting it to the border of the plane of Shadow. The object must be of such a size that it can be held in one hand by the caster.
When the spell is cast the object in hand vanishes. The caster's shadow will still contain a shadow of the object so concealed by this spell, thus while fairly large objects (polearms, etc) can be concealed by this spell, they are more easily noticed in the caster's shadow than smaller ones. The caster may opt to end the spell by mental command at any time, causing the item in question to instantly materialize in the hand of the caster. If there is any solid matter in the space where the object is to materialize, it will not be recovered, but instead lost permanently in the plane of Shadow.
The material component of this spell is a vial of shadow fiend or shadow ichor which must be poured over the object to be affected.
