Spell #: 617

Spell code: sneaking

---

Effect: Increases the caster's ability to sneak and stay hidden, but does not increase one's ability to hide initially. When used in combination with either Natural Colors (601) or Mass Natural Colors (611), unperceptive characters will not even notice a ranger arrive in a room or leave it if outdoors. Moderately perceptive characters will hear "soft footsteps" and very perceptive characters will notice the caster stealthily arrive or depart. When the Natural Colors and Sneaking spells are in affect like this, it is impossible to lead a group. You can immediately dispel this spell by typing STOP SNEAKING.
