This spell will cover creatures in the area of effect with an illusion making them appear as trees.
Up to 10 willing creatures per caster level in the area of effect can be made to appear as trees (or the equivalent based on terrain).
The illusion cannot be disbelieved even if interacted with. If one attacks a tree, it is considered an attack on the creature covered by the illusion (although that creature is immobile). Damage done will appear to be on the tree (although, disconcertingly, the tree will appear to bleed).
Creatures covered by the illusion can rest and can see the surrounding area (their vision is not affected by their individual illusion, although other creatures around them still appear to be trees).
Duration. The spell lasts for as long as each individual creature remains in one spot. They can shift slightly without dispelling the illusion but otherwise must remain immobile. Sound is not suppressed so conversation or other noises will appear to emanate from trees. Likewise, neither light nor scent is suppressed. Light sources appear to hang on tree limbs or are seen on the ground. Creatures under the effect of the spell can sleep or rest without dispelling the illusion. Once an individual moves from their spot, the illusion of the tree (covering that individual only) ends. The spell can be dispelled at will by the caster and can otherwise be dispelled with a dispel magic effect as normal.
Material Components. A handful of material from the type of tree being selected. The component is consumed in the casting of the spell. Cost/Scarcity. Free/Varies.
Known Substitutions. None.
