The '''Veil of the Sphinx''' is an [[artefact]] sold at [[The Defensive Artefact Shop]] in [[Delos]]. It is one of the more expensive artefacts that can be purchased, but many owners swear it is worth the cost. Made from a translucent fabric that seem to waver between tangibility and nonexistence, this veil is devoid of any perceptible pattern, thanks to the shimmering, shifting nature of the weave itself. On its edges are [[Aldar]] runes of concealment embroidered in gold thread.  
The '''Veil of the Sphinx''' — along with its variant, [[Hood of the Sphinx]] — is an [[artefact]] sold at [[The Offensive Artefact Shop]] in [[Delos]]. It is one of the more expensive artefacts that can be purchased, but many owners swear it is worth the cost. Made from a translucent fabric that seem to waver between tangibility and nonexistence, this veil is devoid of any perceptible pattern, thanks to the shimmering, shifting nature of the weave itself. On its edges are [[Aldar]] runes of concealment embroidered in gold thread.  


The Veil of the Sphinx shares its unique ability, described below, solely with the [[Hood of the Sphinx]] artefact.  
The Veil of the Sphinx grants use of the '''Fullsense''' [[ability]] to people of any class, giving name and location of every [[adventurer]] in the local area, and enhances the respective [[Telepathy]] and [[Shindo]] fullsense of [[monks]] and [[blademaster]]s with significant balance reduction.  


When worn, this artefact takes you "off the radar", so to speak. No seeking [[:category:skills|skills]] will work to locate the wearer (barring a select few). Veil wearers can be located, however, by other veil and hood owners. In addition, the veil will not remove its wearer from the WHO lists. This can only be done with a few specific [[class]] skills or the [[gem of cloaking]] artefact.
The Veil of the Sphinx also significantly enhances the [[Vision]] '''Farsee''' ability, narrowing down a target's location to specific room, rather than just area, and also allowing the wearer's vision to pierce the veil across [[planes]].


[[Category:Defensive Artefacts]]
Long ago Veils of the Sphinx protected wearers against other's search, rather than assisting theirs, making them inscrutable at a distance against all but other veil-wearers. This unique ability was replaced with the above aspect in 762 AF.
