This very fine metallic powder will make creatures or objects invisible.
Sprinkle Powder. [complex] The possessor of a packet of this powder can sprinkle it on one creature or object (to a maximum area of 600 square feet). The subject becomes invisible:
The invisibility is similar to that provided by the spell, improved invisibility, granting the subject the ability to attack and remain invisible.
Invisible creatures or objects coated by the dust cannot be discerned with the spell, detect invisibility. Dust of appearance, detect magic, faerie fire, and true seeing remain effective as does the ability to see invisible.
Otherwise, the invisibility effect is as per the invisibility spell and creatures can be sensed, heard, and pinpointed as usual.
Duration. When sprinkled on a creature, the duration is 2d10 x 10 rounds and if carefully sprinkled on an object, the duration is 1d10+10 x 10 rounds.
The subject must be immobile during the application of the dust (or it is rendered ineffective/wasted).
This dust is found in packets (of one pinch per packet) and attempts to store it in a container other than the packet render the dust mundane.
