: '''Resource:''' 100 mana
: '''Details:'''
The first time you summon a snake, you may have to try many times before you're successful. Eventually though, the snakes of the wild won't be able to resist your serpentine charms, and one will come slithering to serve. Once you have your snake, you may summon it back at any time
should you lose it (simply SUMMON RATTLESNAKE INVENTORY|INV] again). Your snake may be ordered to perform the actions listed in HELP DENIZENS.
Note: City/House membership influences what precisely is summoned.
:Ashtan summon kraits.
:CIJ summon puffadders.
:Eleusis summon treesnakes.
:Mhaldor summon adders.
:All others summon rattlesnakes.

: '''Works on/against:''' Self

: '''Resource:''' 100 mana
: '''Details:'''
This is probably the most effective concealment ability there is. While phased, you will be hidden from all mortal adventurers, aside from other phased ones. You will, further, be unable to interact with items, denizens, or unphased adventurers. The caveat here is that you may try to attack an unphased adventurer, which will automatically unphase you. Thus, phase can be used as an effective aid to assassinations.
Be warned that you will lose endurance rather quickly while phased.
