When cast successfully on grass or high grass terrain, the Hide in Grass spell applies the Cloak buff for a duration of (caster's skill level * 5) turns, making the character invisible. The spell will fail if cast outside of grassy terrain with the message “Even I can't hide in plain sight.” The invisibility effect provides a stealth bonus and prevents enemies from targeting the character while active.
