    Activated and deactivated at will, and requiring only consciousness to continue, the user gives of an aura that makes him so unremarkable that he can't be remembered. The aura extends 20 metres and is not hampered by barriers, whether mundane or magical. Should the user act normally, their presence is unlikely to be remembered by those around him; and even if he does something truly remarkable (such as killing a famous figure in public) or is being specifically watched, no one will be able to remember anything about him: even his race, gender, height, etc. will all be a mystery to those around (the action itself however, will be remembered normally). This spell still affects those observing remotely or magically, such as through a pirate's charm, so long as the item or point from which they are observing is within the aura's radius.

    However, even while the ability is active, others may recognize the individual, and simply will not remember seeing them. For example, if a famous thief is using Memory's Ghost and is spotted by a guard, the guard is still going to recognize and attempt to arrest the thief, but later will not remember who or what he was chasing later.

    The only ways to resist this ability is with courage 5 or a treasure with the [scry] field, and even this is unlikely to completely negate it. If someone with courage 5 comes across another with Memory's Ghost active, they will remember their presence and actions normally, as well as general things like race, gender, hair color, relative height, etc. but small details such as the exact shape of the nose, fullness of lips, etc. will remain unremembered, unless he recognizes the individual from sometime before (such as on a poster or when the spell was not active) or has met him several times before with the spell active. Should someone possess and be using a [Scry] treasure, then the illusion is entirely useless, unless the treasure only affect certain sense (like the lens of truth with sight) in which case they may only remember details based on that/those sense(s).
