Description: This spell ensures privacy. Anyone looking into the area from outside sees only a dark, foggy mass. Darkvision cannot penetrate it. No sounds, no matter how loud, can escape the area, so nobody can eavesdrop from outside. Those inside can see out normally. Divination spells cannot perceive anything within the area, and those within are immune to detect thoughts. The ward prevents speech between those inside and those outside (because it blocks sound), but it does not prevent other communication, such as a sending or message spell, or telepathic communication, such as that between a Wizard and her familiar. The spell does not prevent creatures or objects from moving into and out of the area.
Leveling: At level 7, when cast with an additional material component (12,500 gp. worth of diamond dust), this spell has a duration of Permanent.
