(Illusion/Phantasm)
Level: 2
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 3 rds. + 1 rd./level
Casting Time: 2 segments
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

When a Blur spell is cast, the magic-user causes the outline of his form to become blurred, shifting and wavering. This distortion causes all missile and melee combat attacks against the caster to be made with -4 penalties on the first attempt and -2 penalties on all successive attacks. It also grants the magic-user a +1 bonus to his saving throw for any direct magical attack. A Detect Invisibility spell will not counter this effect, but the 5th level cleric spell True Seeing and similar magic will.
