Nystrom's Magical Aura (Enchantment/Illusion)
Level: Mage 1, Magic 1
Mana: 3. Persistant. Base Success: 90%.
    Casting this spell imbues a chosen item with a surreal quality of power and mystique that misleads the intuition and divinations of others into believing that items is a powerful magical treasure surpassing all others, and they will be led by the spell to covet it intensely. Intelligent, tool-using monsters will seek to acquire this item, and will equip it in preferance to others if this possess it. Thus, this spell can be used as a kind of trap, causing monsters to not use their real magical equipment in favour of fakes, or as a thrown lure to draw a monster to a specific location.
   The item is also much more desirable to thieves and pickpockets than a normal item of its type would be, but most merchants have devised a way of detecting the use of this spell. Selling an item affected by this spell is a chaotic act; if the seller is not evil, it is also an evil one.
