Deed

Bring 3 Wraith Shroud. Frost wraiths slip in and out of the night; Ysolde cuts every student's first veil from their shrouds, so bring her three.

What it does

Blink up to 5 tiles toward the cursor (Blink's collision-safe march) and wear a veil for 3 s: stealth +0.9 (the cap; creatures see you at a tenth of their sight). Foes that were after you lose you unless within 1.5 tiles: their target drops and they search where you stood, then go home. Your first strike out of the veil deals +50% damage. Striking, shooting or casting anything but a Mirror spell ends the veil. Dragons aren't fooled. 0.15 s invulnerability on the blink.
