You utter words of confusion that scramble light in the area, causing things to appear distorted and incoherent. The distortion obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target).
Your words of power reveal things in the area that would otherwise be hidden. The area becomes illuminated as if by bright light, but this gentle illumination does not impose any penalties for creatures with light blindness or similar traits. This does not cast any illumination beyond the targeted area, creating a clear line of where this effect ends.
Additionally, any objects or beings that are invisible or ethereal become visible while they are within the area, and creatures within the area take a -10 penalty on Hide checks.
