'''Effect:''' As an action, you shout ''"Reveal True Form"'' and focus your perceptions, for example by rubbing spit in your eyes, or by aiming feng shui mirrors at the target. The target who you focus on is forced to revert to his natural form, shedding any supernatural disguises, illusions and transformations. | '''Effect:''' As an action, you shout ''"Reveal True Form"'' and focus your perceptions, for example by rubbing spit in your eyes, or by aiming feng shui mirrors at the target.

− | + | '''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. | |

In other words, if you're using thunderclap movement for style only, with no benefit at all, then you're not going to be charged for it. |

− | + | '''Effect:''' You can only use this spell outside of conflicts, and 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. | |

Though you are still you (and your gender, race, etc are the same) even your closest family will not recognise you, and if asked later to describe you would have great difficulty doing so. | |
