Hi Guys,

I'm currently playing a Beguiler and am thinking about of taking 1 level of 'Shadow Adept' (PGtF): it gives access to three great feats:
- insidious magic: spell effects and auras are harder to detect by divination
- pernicious magic: bonus overcoming SR
- tenacious magic: your spells are harder to dispell

This combo is almost too good to be true (if you're willing to wield magic from the Shadow Weave).

I have a question about "insidious magic":
- does it shield 'image spells' from detecting with 'true seeing' and the like (as in: could it work)?
- the same for 'mirror image'
- the same for 'invisibility'
- the same for 'blur'

Thanks !

IIRC, that 1 lv of shadow adept also has the nice side benefit of pushing your advanced learning back by 1 lv each, thus allowing you access to a wider selection of spells at each turn.:)

It would seem that yes, the feat could protect your illusion spells from true-seeing, but I cannot be 100% sure.:P
