Vanish is a combat maneuver available to rogues which allows the rogue to hide while in roundtime.

You immediately attempt to hide with 0 RT. At rank 2, you are able to hide while in 5 seconds or less of RT. At rank 3, you can hide while in any amount of RT.

The attempts to vanish are subjected to the same restrictions as a normal attempt to hide.

Stamina Cost: 25 + 1 per second of RT remaining without Shadow Mastery active, per two seconds of RT with Shadow Mastery active

Each attempt from the open will cost stamina, but once the rogue is in hiding accidentally attempting the maneuver again will not result in a stamina reduction.

There is not going to be a cooldown, since we anticipate the stamina cost will be prohibitory enough to use the ability consistency. If we're wrong about this, we may have to adjust either the stamina cost, or more likely add a cool down. The stamina costs are intentionally high to cause their use to be slowed.

With subtlety and speed, you aim to clandestinely vanish into the shadows.
You attempt to blend with the surroundings and feel confident that no one has noticed your doing so.
