Chapter Three and a Half
So, I’m going to break into my dad’s office, and steal some of his stuff.
Is it a bad idea? Oh yes. Is it childish? Yep. Do I have any idea what I’m doing? Nah. Do I have any reason (other than spite) to do this? Nope!
Do I care? Big Fucking Nope.
I’ve spent years under the thumb of that greedy bastard, and now I have a chance for some petty revenge just handed to me? Oh yea, this is happening.
So, what is this “simple anti-detection spell”?
----------------------------------------
> A simple anti-detection spell! For the times when you need to be sneaky!
>
> What is sneak?
>
> What are spells?
>
> What is detection?
>
> These questions and more! Will be mostly glossed over by this chapter, it’s a bit off topic. All you need to know is that you’re not prepared for a true anti-detection spell; nor are you ready for an invisibility spell, not even a blur.
>
> Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
>
> An anti-detection spell, in it’s truest form, is a massive enchantment-illusion dual-school spell, that causes every conscious being to simply ignore or not notice the presence of the caster or whatever object the caster wants not to be seen. To perfect such a thing, you would need decades to learn the prerequisites, and decades more of study on the topic of enchantment, and how it interacts with illusion.
>
> You’ve probably not got time for that.
>
> A more sensible, but still ridiculous option, is invisibility. True invisibility, for reasons I will not get into, causes blindness. This is unavoidable. So you cannot simply channel massive amounts of illusory intent into the a spell to make you invisible, because you would also be completely blind. Instead, it’s another massive dual-school spell, this time it’s an illusion-divination spell.
>
> You could use a simpler spell, that’s just illusion, like blur. But the blur spell causes nearsightedness, and is difficult to work with.
>
> That, and you almost certainly do not have the skill to cast such a spell.
>
> “So what’s the simple anti-detection spell!?” I hear you cry.
>
> Well it’s very simple really. If you don’t want to be seen, you have to know what other people see!
>
> Thus that brings me to the spell! Divine-detection!
>
> Through the school of divination, and divination alone, channel your intent to know the approximate areas of the world around you that other people can see!
>
> It’s actually a very simple and light spell. No need for long incantations. Only a single simple reagent!
>
> Go to your nearest alchemy shop and get some fresh eyeballs!
>
> No I’m not kidding. Don’t make that face. The eyeballs are very important, and no, it doesn’t matter what kind of eyeballs they are, just that they’re intact!
>
> Return to this chapter after you have acquired them, more information will be dispensed at that time.
>
> Now go! My young apprentice! Find the eyeballs! Buy the eyeballs! Steal the eyeballs! Just get those eyeballs!
----------------------------------------
…
eww…
“Well. I’d better go find myself some eyeballs.” I say, resigning myself to my fate.
