Prestidigitation (Reversible)

(See also: Prestidigitation (Proficiency))

This spell heightens the manual dexterity of the wu jen and allows him to teleport small objects to different points on his body. The wu jen can pick pockets, cause small objects to disappear from his hand, and cause objects on his person to suddenly appear in his hand.

When the wu jen attempts to pick pockets, the victim is allowed a saving throw vs. spell. If the saving throw is successful, the attempt is discovered and whatever relevant consequences apply. If the victim fails the save, the wu jen successfully filches the item.

Furthermore, with a quick pass of his hand, the wu jen can cause items small enough to fit in the palm of his hand to disappear and reappear elsewhere on his person (in a pocket, boot, other hand). This feat also can be used to bring items from elsewhere on his person into his hand. Again, the object must be small enough to easily fit in the palm of the hand. However, onlookers are allowed a saving throw vs. spell to notice the prestidigitation.

Such tricks take just seconds to perform and several can be done in the same round. Thus, the wu jen could pick up a rare gem, secretly transport the item to his hat, and replace it with a cheap substitute hidden in his pocket in a few seconds.

The material component for this spell is a small drop of oil rubbed on the tips of the fingers.

Fumble-Fingers

The reverse of this spell, fumble-fingers, is cast upon a creature within 30 yards. Any one action requiring manual dexterity, up to the duration of the spell, might fail. The spell does not affect large actions, such as melee combat, but might cause an*archer to fumble an arrow, a ninja to drop thieves' tools, or a spellcaster to confuse somatic gestures in spellcasting. The creature must make a successful saving throw vs. spell to perform the action; fumble-fingers ends after affecting one action. The material component is a small amount of oil flicked at the victim.
