	'''Effect:''' You can only if noone is currently ~~actively~~ paying attention to you. Once cast, you fade from notice. Though you are still there, and still visible, others will look past you and disregard your presence, acting as if you were not there. The effect ends if you take action of any sort other than perceiving your surroundings and staying still, or if someone is forced to acknowledge your presence (for example if they are trying to walk through a doorway you are stood blocking). The ''No Mind'' spell will also reveal your presence, but only to the No Mind spellcaster.		'''Effect:''' You can only use Peaceful Stance if noone is currently paying active attention to you.

	'''Effect:''' As an action, you may enchant a single item in your possession. Until the end of the current conflict, that item may be used to make physical attacks against ghosts. For example, you could enchant a bowl of milk so that it burns ghosts ike acid, or enchant a twig so that it strikes them like a sword. Note that without this spell, ghosts are normally immune to physical harm. Note that its generally out of keeping with ~~Wuxia~~ tone to use a spell like this to enchant an actual weapon.
