Gameplay[]
- The statement of Description can be misleading as the luck status effect does not affect the creature's saving throws, nor does it increase thieving skills. The luck spell implements the bonuses in addition to the luck status
- The effects of this spell are non-cumulative, meaning multiple casts cannot be used to further improve a character's Thieving Abilities, for example.
- Although the buff is very small, this spell provides the only way to improve a character's Detect Illusion score, besides just putting points into it while levelling up or equipping the NPC-exclusive item Jansen Spectroscopes. It is also one of the few ways to improve a character's Set Trap score.
- Although of limited use, this spell can allow a Rabbit Familiar to disable a few more traps than it normally could. And, technically, said familiar would also acquire a tiny 5% chance to dispel illusions (and only for 3 rounds).
