Spirit Mask

This spell is available only to shamans of Ubtao, known as spiritlords. By means of this incantation, a spiritlord can wrap his or her own essence in that of a minor or major spirit. While under the effects of a spirit mask spell, many divination spells are diverted to affect the enveloping spirit, not the spiritlord. For example, spells cast on a priest protected by a spirit mask spell such as know alignment and ESP are redirected to detect information about the spirit in which the spellcaster is enshrouded, not the caster. This misdirection effect is not readily apparent to the caster of the divination magic. Spells such as detect magic, detect invisibility, and similar magics are unaffected by a spirit mask spell.

The material component of this spell is the spiritlord's spirit mask (his or her holy symbol).
