(Abjuration, Metamagic)

Duration:  1 hour per level
Casting Time:  5
Area of Effect:  3-foot per level radius sphere
Saving Throw:  Special

This spell is similar to the 3rd-level non-detection, but it affects an area (see above). It can be linked to a creature so that the area of effect moves with the creature. As it is a higher-powered version of non-detection, it can be used to protect even from true seeing (in a very limited form: if a user of any form of true seeing tries to penetrate this form of non-detection, the caster of this spell gets a saving throw modified by a -1 for every level of the opposing caster above his own, but he does not gain any bonuses if he is above the opposing caster's level). If this non-detection is linked to a creature, it gains the saving throw instead of the caster. If the creature has a magic resistance, it can be used at one quarter (round down) of its usual chance to help protect the linked creature and any others within the sphere from detection of any kind.
The material component is a complete and previously unopened nutshell, which has been completely filled with fool's gold created by the fool's gold spell (don't use iron spar). This nutshell has to be coated in a layer of platinum so that it gives a perfect sphere with no indication as to what it contains. This has to cost no less than 5000 gp. On this sphere, one non-detection spell is cast. At this stage it can be used as a material component for this spell.
