Cloth
CharacterCloth is a concealment spell in the arsenal of Wing Bind's witches and wizards. Rendered in Japanese as a phrase meaning Magic Curtain, it raises a glimmering screen that hides everything beneath it from sight and from detection.
Appearance
When cast, the spell throws up a broad, faintly glowing wall across the surrounding space. Its surface carries a repeated emblem, a partial ring crossed by a pair of lines set opposite one another, and the whole sheet shimmers as it settles into place.
Abilities
The barrier's entire purpose is concealment: anyone and anything inside it drops out of view and slips past detection completely. That protection has its limits, however. A strong enough impact can smash the screen apart, as happens when a sizable Dragon plows straight into it. The words needed to invoke the spell have never been revealed.
