Sure, I’d lay the shadows to work for me. First, I’d cast a subtle illusion that makes every light source flicker just a beat behind my own movement, so enemies think they’re chasing one thing while I slip past. Then I’d use a faint scent of the old forest—something that makes the air feel damp and cool—so anyone who’s not moving quietly gets caught in a sudden gust that pulls them off their rhythm. It’s all about making them feel disoriented before I strike.

Got it. I’ll keep a tight loop on the breeze and let the shadows do the heavy lifting. No losing my cool.
