The target becomes invisible.

The target gets advantage on tests of Roguery.
The target is concealed from normal sight.
However, some creatures possess sight-like abilities that will be unaffected and still able to sense them (in escalating order of trouble: heatsense, tremorsense, lifesense, shapesense). Upgrades to this spell render even most of these senses unreliable.

This spell also suppresses the signs of magic emanating from its target.
Tests of Spellcraft to detect magic on the target are contested by the target’s choice of a test of their Roguery or the caster of this spell’s Spellcraft.
Without this effect, a powerful enchantment or a large quantity of enchantments on a creature may make spotting them while they are well-hidden using Spellcraft easier than locating them with your eyes.

While hidden, if you attack, cast a spell, touch an enemy, throw an item, or make noise, you will still break stealth, stop being hidden, and reveal where you are to the enemy.
If you upgrade this spell, you will remain concealed, even after you are no longer hidden.

If you are invisible while on soft ground, or while you are soaked or bleeding, you will still leave behind tracks or traces of your passage, which can be used to locate you easily. While this makes hiding less effective, and can make it entirely ineffective or impossible in some situations, you will still be concealed.

You can end this spell as a fast action.

Subtle:
Casting this spell while hidden does not cause you to become unhidden.

Suggested Backfire: You glow brightly, casting bright light in a 30 ft. radius and dim light for another 30 ft. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to hide until this is dealt with.
