__NOTOC__
Complete Wizard's Handbook Version
With this spell, privacy is ensured in a room of up to 1600 square feet (40 feet x 40 feet, or the equivalent). From the outside, the windows of the room appear to be dark and cloudy, preventing those with normal vision, infravision, or any other type of vision from seeing inside. Those inside the room can see out the windows as they normally would. No sounds of any kind can escape from the room. Scrying attempts, such as ESP, clairaudience, clairvoyance, and crystal balls cannot penetrate the room, and a wizard eye cannot enter. The caster can leave the room without affecting the spell.
The material components for this spell are a thin sheet of lead, a piece of opaque glass, a wad of cotton or cloth, and a pinch of powdered chrysolite.
Wizard's Spell Compendium Version
This spell insures privacy in a room of up to 1,600 square feet in area, or 40 feet by 40 feet in dimension. All windows in the room become dark and misty as seen from the outside, preventing creatures with normal vision, infravision, or other special vision from looking into the room. Those inside can look out normally. X-ray vision cannot penetrate into the room, as if the room were completely enclosed in a lead shield. No sounds, no matter how loud, can escape the room, so a thief cannot eavesdrop from outside. Scrying attempts, such as ESP, clairaudience, clairvoyance, or crystal balls, cannot penetrate the protected room, and a wizard eye cannot get inside. The casting wizard can freely leave the room without the protection being dispelled.
The material components are a thin sheet of lead, a piece of opaque glass, a wad of cotton or cloth, and powdered chrysolite.
Notes: Uncommon or rare spell (WoG).
