Alter Aura

Spell, Mysticism, level 4

Disguises the caster's alignment so aura-reading or good/evil detection gives the answer he chooses, though some magic can see through it.

From the book

The caster changes his own aura to hide his true alignment. A Detect Good/Evil or Read Aura spell used on him gives whatever false answer he chooses. Some other spells can still see through or uncover the disguise. It lasts 10 minutes per level of ability.

A scene

The priests of Poseidon at the temple in Mestea test every stranger who asks to sleep under their roof. The old priest lays his hand on the traveler's brow and reads his aura, and it shines back at him white and clean as sea foam. He smiles and waves the man inside. The traveler, a Black Mystic who has not done a kind deed in twenty years, bows humbly and takes his place at the long table. His true colors will return before the night is much older, and he intends to be gone well before then.
