This spell is often used to give the caster a little bit of concealment when trying to make a quick escape. When the material component is hurled or dropped to the ground, a silent burst of illusionary magic (centered on the point of impact) creates some sort of total concealment. This can range from simple smoke to dense flames to thousands of swirling leaves.
Every creature or object within the area of the burst has total concealment for the duration of the spell, but is effectively blinded, so long as it stays within the area. The caster of this spell can see into and through the illusion as if it were just a faint shadow.
The illusionary magic fills a spherical burst out to a radius of 5 feet, plus 5 feet per 5 caster levels (maximum radius of 15 feet at 10th level). The magic remains for 1 round full round after casting is completed, plus 1 round per 5 caster levels (maximum of 3 rounds at 10th level).
Material Component: A small glass bead.
