E.16.6: Shroud location from magical scry [2436]


Usage:  USE 2436 [piety]
Time to learn: 14 days.
Time to use: 3 days.

Creates a shroud over the priest's current province. The shroud hinders attempts to view the location by magical scrying or holy visions (except for orbs, and Receive vision [2434], which succeed even if a shroud exists).

The shroud is invested with twice the piety used in its creation. A mage or priest attempting to view the location from a distance with a scry spell or holy vision must expend a greater amount of aura (piety) than the shroud possesses to succeed.

The shroud loses one point of piety at the end of each month. Successive uses of 2436 are additive. For example, USE 9448 1 followed by USE 2436 3 will result in a location shroud with an piety of eight points.

The default piety to use is one point.
