Description

When you recite the quiet words of this spell in your mind and perform the vague, wavering gestures the magic requires, you draw upon the power of the chameleon to change the coloration of yourself and your equipment to match that of your surroundings.

This mottled array of muted colors, exactly matching your background no matter how you are viewed, grants you a +1 Arcane Bonus to all Stealth checks made during the duration of this spell.

In addition, this blending-in camouflage allows you to initiate a stealth stance without the need for cover or concealment, but only while you move no more than half your Walk speed per move action, no matter which movement type you use. If you move more than half your walk speed with any given move action, you gain no benefit from this spell until the start of your next turn. Abilities that enable faster movement while Stealthed have no effect on the behavior of this spell.

If you make an attack, this spell ends immediately and your coloration returns to normal.

This spell lays an arcane charge on its target(s). If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays an arcane charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have an arcane charge present must choose which to keep if the new spell has the same charge type. Only one arcane charge can ever be present on a target at a time.
