Ambush: Add your tier to the spellcast roll or deduce it from the target's reaction roll.
Obscure: If the spell does not result in any adversaries marking Hit Points, you can cast it subtly enough that no one can notice you as the source of the spell.
Cult of Veils
Specialization
Conceal: Make a Spellcast Roll (14). On a success, you can make yourself or an object no larger than your size Cloaked. While Cloaked you remain unseen if you are stationary when an adversary moves to where they would normally see you. When you move into or within an adversary's line of sight or make an attack, you are no longer Cloaked. If the target is an object, it remains Cloaked this way until it takes damage, is used to attack or the scene ends.
