Wings of Gloom

This spell causes a pair of large, mothlike wings to appear on the caster's back, rather like those of a gloomwing. The wings look too flimsy to support a humanoid yet effortlessly lift the caster's weight. Wings of gloom is equivalent to a fly spell (MV 18) but with manoeuvrability class D. The spell does not impart the gloomwing's confusion ability but does enable the caster to hide in shadowy conditions, making the caster 50% undetectable with a -2 bonus to surprise. The caster can "will" the spell to end before the end of the duration. A wizard walking with wings of gloom is essentially weightless and can cross pressure-sensitive pit traps without triggering them.

The material components of this spell are a live moth and a lit candle. The moth is consumed and the candle is snuffed in the casting.
