Shroud of Deception allows the caster to disguise their appearance in an illusion. This gives them the ability to visually change their race, profession, or gender, as well as their physical features to match. The attributes which can be disguised are subject to the caster's Minor Mental spell ranks.

The benefit of such a spell, other than tricking players, is using it for mechanical advantages in certain systems. An example of this would be that dark elves are automatically removed from the Shimmarglin Inn in Ta'Illistim. A dark elf caster could disguise their race to avoid being ejected. Another example would be to use the spell to avoid racial biases in shops.

Outside of using a hostile action to cast a dispel, there are no planned methods to "defeat" an illusion. Casting Elemental Detection will only allow sensing of Shroud of Deception, not what attributes have been disguised.

The spell will not affect combat.
