Interesting turn of phrase. "Hide in plain sight" is a very common spell
used by the wizards of Huna (the contemporary speakers/preservers of
Khangaþyagon). It makes whatever it is cast on not invisible, but very
ignorable. Anyone but the caster who looks at it will suffer mind-blindness
and not notice it, although another wizard may be aware of the presence of
magical effects. The caster may break the spell by deliberately drawing
attention to the hidden object, whereupon the person it has been revealed
to will experience a feeling of "Oh, it was right under my nose."
