### E.21.3: Shroud location from magical scry [2930]

      Usage:  USE 2930 [aura]
      Time to learn: 14 days.
      Time to use: 3 days.

Creates a magical shroud over the mage's current province. The shroud hinders attempts to view the location by magical scrying or holy visions (except for orbs, and Receive vision [2434], which succeed even if a shroud exists).

The shroud is invested with twice the aura used in its creation. A mage or priest attempting to view the location from a distance with a scry spell or holy vision must expend a greater amount of aura (piety) than the shroud possesses to succeed.

The shroud loses one point of aura at the end of each month. Successive uses of 2930 are additive. For example, USE 9142 1 followed by USE 9142 3 will result in a location shroud with an aura of eight points.

The default aura to use is one point.
