Sidhelien Mien (Wizard Spell)

By casting this spell, the wizard bestows cer­tain qualities natural to Sidhelien upon a crea­ture not of elf descent. The recipient gains 90% resistance to sleep and charm spells, and is un­affected by aging attacks and normal diseases. The recipient also gains partial camouflage in a woodland setting; when standing still or moving slowly, he has a 30% chance of remaining unde­tected. An individual moving faster than a normal walking pace is still 15% likely to remain unseen.
Though the recipient gains elven abilities, his appearance does not change. Nor does he gain other elven qualities not listed above.
The number of individuals a wizard can affect with this spell depends on his Level: a 9th-level caster can affect four individuals, a 10th-level caster can affect five, and so on.
The reverse of this spell, Sidhelien discord, adds a -3 penalty to the target individual's saving throws vs. charm and sleep spells, and prevents him from moving unseen in woodland settings. An individual who takes special pre­cautions, such as lying still in underbrush, can hide in woods normally. When moving, how­ever, any observers are 15% more likely to spot him.
Sidhelien mien has no effect when cast on elves; its reverse, however, does. Elves gain a normal saving throw against the Sidhelien dis­cord version of the spell.
Notes: Common on Cerilia, the Birthright setting; virtually unknown elsewhere.
