“Do not worry, our privacy is now ensured.”

Anyone looking into the area from outside sees only a dark, foggy mass. Darkvision cannot penetrate it. No sounds, no matter how loud, can escape the area, so nobody can eavesdrop from outside. Those inside can see out normally.

Divination (scrying) spells cannot perceive anything within the area, and those within are immune to Read Thoughts. The ward prevents speech between those inside and those outside (because it blocks sound), but it does not prevent other communication, such as a Sending spell, or telepathic communication. The spell does not prevent creatures or objects from moving into and out of the area.

Augment: You can augment this spell in one of the following ways:

  1. If you spend 2 additional spell points, this spell prevents any (teleportation) effects from ending up in the area. Any attempt to teleport into the area simply fails.

  2. If you spend 6 additional spell points, this spell prevents any (teleportation) effects from ending up in the area except for those used by you personally.
