Shadow Veil - Jann

This spell draws a cloak of darkness over 10 man-sized creatures per level of the caster, allowing them to move silently and invisibly to both normal sight and infravision. The spell lasts until sunlight strikes the affected creatures or 1 hour per level of the caster has elapsed, whichever comes first. Jann frequently use this spell to marshal 1 their hosts before dawn, so that the rising sun reveals their ranks drawn up before their enemy, where moments ago was only empty desert.

The material components include a black opal worth at least 500 gp, a panther's paw, and a black owl's feather.
