Diversion

This rule is pretty sexy and doesn't need any attention. Consider it good to go.

Rarity	1
AP	4
Target	Area
Distance	Medium
Lasts	1 round per rank
Save	Lucidity

This spell creates an illusion to distract opponents: sight, sound, smell, or any combination of the three. Anything the caster imagines can come to life. So long as they concentrate on it, the caster can even change the illusion as they see fit while the spell persists. Any targets within an area of a 5 foot radius per rank must make a Lucidity save. A target that passes its save doesn't perceive the illusion at all (and confusion will set in as its friends ask "Hey, did you see that?"). The idea is that if a target believes a false sight or sound, they will be at a disadvantage to notice other things, taking a penalty to subsequent Perception checks. "Huh? What was that noise? Better go check it out."

3. A strong distraction, like an apparition floating down a hallway, or many people singing. Targets take −6 to Perception checks.
4. A very strong distraction, like a militia marching by, or a whiff of rotting flesh. Targets take −8 to Perception checks.
5. An inescapable distraction, like a clap of thunder, a roaring dragon, or the local drunk screaming and running nude across the town green. Targets take −10 to Perception checks.
