Disguise Bloodline (Wizard Spell)

This potent illusion allows the spell recipient to hide the derivation, strength, and characteris­tics (both magical and physical) of another blood­line. For example, a scion of Anduiras could appear to have Brenna's or even Azrai's bloodline, thus, foiling attempts to determine his actual bloodline. The transformation is undetectable unless a limited wish or a spell of comparable power is cast upon the recipient.
While under the effect of the spell, the recipi­ent can use only blood abilities permitted by the illusory bloodline. The blood abilities must have the same effect when used by scions of both the actual and illusory bloodlines.
For example, a scion of Vorynn disguised as a scion of Brenna could use the alter appearance blood ability, which works the same for scions of both houses. The ability enhance sense could not be used, as it affects different sense for each bloodline. The blood ability functions at the same level of power as it normally docs, regardless of the illusory bloodline's strength. Recipients of the disguise bloodline spell do not gain any blood abilities they do not normally have with their actual bloodlines.
If the spell's recipient tries to use a blood abil­ity that is not allowed by the illusory bloodline, he must succeed in a saving throw vs. spell to use his natural blood ability. The die roll is subject to a modifier based on the illusory bloodline strength. If the roll fails, he cannot access his nat­ural bloodline and blood abilities.

This spell will not affect unblooded individu­als. Sielshegh gems of both the actual and illu­sory bloodlines will not respond to a scion under the effects of this spell.
Unlike mask bloodline, this spell is powerful enough to affect the obvious marks borne by
Many ehrsheghlien and awnsheghlien. If an awnshegh with the blood of Azrai were to cast this spell upon himself and disguise his blood­line as that of Brenna, he would look like an ershegh of that bloodline. His hideous or inhu­man features would take on a natural beauty, and the DM would describe him in completely dif­ferent terms.
Notes: Common in the Birthright setting; virtually unknown elsewhere.
