Avoid
Area
Makes the subject area unattractive to all creatures except the caster. Gazes will be averted, and approaching characters will feel an intense unease, an urge to be somewhere else. The spell resists attempts to look at it or to approach it (roll caster’s skill vs. searcher’s Will). Victims won’t be aware of the repulsion if it can act in a subtle way (e.g., you just felt like sitting in front rather than in the middle . . .). This is a subtle spell, and GMs should roll in secret to see if it works. If it does, the victims should not be told “You can’t look in that closet,” but just “you see nothing.” The spell made them
think they had checked the closet, or made each searcher think that another one had checked it . . . and so on.
If a single caster uses both Hide and Avoid, the GM should not check for the results of the Hide spell unless a searcher penetrates the Avoid spell and looks in the caster’s direction.
