<DIV><BR><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial color=#000080>I would say that anything
that starts to distort the terrain starts to bring it into the realm of
wizardry. Simply saying that the person takes on color/texture of the
terrain will mesh with the spell name and purpose. This differs from elf
invisibility since in that case the forest is actively helping the elves
(branches bend slightly to cover exposed portions, or the canopy alters so that
light dappling makes it harder to see the target, the ground absorbs the noise
of movement, etc.<BR></FONT><BR></FONT><FONT face="Courier New"><FONT

explain. I didn't want a simple illusion or the lef version. The elf
version I don't see as active but you do? Branches actually help?
Wow. I see it more as the elf using it as a skill to know wher eto hide
and how to use his environment. In this spell I wanted a basic chameleon
spell but one that didn't work like a pure illusion. Maybe osmoene else
can explain it better.</FONT></EM><BR><BR><SPAN class=893005111-17092004>The
reasonI see it as active is because I don't really see it making sense to have
elves be able to pull this invisibility in human cities, or in the desert, or
whatever. Born of sylvan darkness, I guess I go with a more mystical
binding to the forest world (much like I have the dwarves with a deep binding to
stone and the earth).</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
