With this spell, you can ensure that only certain people can see, hear, or smell what is within the affected area. You must designate a set of people when casting this spell - the most common options are knights, nobles, or members of a particular household. Those so designated can see and speak as normal to one another. Anyone else cannot see or hear those people as long as they stay within the area of the spell.

The spell only affects those within range, so someone watching from a tower on the other side of the courtyard would still see the nobles conversing, but if he went downstairs and walked toward them, they would disappear as soon as he entered the spell’s area. The spell also makes only the individuals and those items on their person invisible. Thus, if three nobles affected by the spell were standing around a table talking, no one nearby would see or hear them, but they would still see the table and the three glasses of wine set upon it. The subjects can break the spell by attacking, as with invisibility.
