Kreshenk's Shadow Mask

This spell hides the facial features of the caster in a mask of shadows. The mask is weightless, doesn't impair vision, and is totally effective in hiding the individual's features; it cannot be physically removed. It is especially effective when used in conjunction with a cloak, completely filling the hood with concealing shadows.

The mask also protects the caster from extremes of light and darkness; darkness or light spells cast directly on the caster of a shadow mask fail Any such spells simply and quickly fade, the lighting conditions changing to a shadowy grayness for the duration of the light or darkness spell, A dispel magic spell does not immediately remove Kreshenk's shadow mask. Instead, the shadows slowly fade away over 1d3+l rounds, possibly giving time for the caster to keep his or her identity secret.

While enjoying the benefits of a shadow mask, the caster gains a +4 saving throw bonus against any gaze attacks and a +2 bonus against divination spells capable of revealing the caster's identity.
