When a wizard casts Shadow Door, he creates the illusion of a door through which he appears to step through and disappear. This invisibility is not of the Illusionary protections type.

Effects[]

Shadow Door
By means of the spell, the wizard creates the illusion of a door. The illusion also permits the wizard to appear to step through this "door" and disappear. In reality, he has darted aside and can flee, totally invisible (as per the Improved Invisibility spell), for the spell's duration. A True Seeing spell, a Gem of Seeing, or similar magical means can reveal the wizard.

Gameplay[]

  • The effects of this spell are identical to that of Improved Invisibility - you cannot be targeted directly with spells even after breaking invisibility, you get a +4 bonus to all saves and enemies attacking you get -4 penalty to ThAC0.

Spell Revisions mod has changed this arcane spell, revising its effects, and duration. See below for description:
Shadow Door
Level: 5
School: Illusion
Range: Personal
Duration: 1 round/level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Special By means of this spell, the wizard creates the illusion of a door. The illusion also permits the wizard to appear to step through this “door” and disappear. In reality he has darted aside and can flee, totally invisible, for the spell duration. Opponents within 5 feet of the caster must save vs. spell or be fooled into following the caster through the door, becoming trapped in an extradimensional room for up to 4 rounds. Creatures with exceptional intelligence may escape the illusion faster, while creatures who can see through illusions (e.g. dragons, liches, demons), or are under the effects of a True Seeing spell, are unaffected.

Note:The SR spell version not only turns the caster improved invisible but can affect a nearby enemy with a Maze like spell attack, which bypasses magic resistance. A save negates.
