Misty Mark

Servants of the Fog Beast call on mists to serve many purposes. Although the uninitiated erroneously believe that fog is meant to hide, or blind, that which lies within, the enlightened know that fog can reveal, as well as obscure. The misty mark is a glowing shell of fog that adheres to the target. At its weakest, the mark makes the target easier to hit. At its strongest, the mark binds, debilitates, damages, and conveys the target’s location to the caster.
A marked target cannot hide using non-magical stealth. If a marked target attempts magical concealment (such as invisibility or darkness) then the target’s spell check must exceed the Misty Mark’s spell check in order for the mark to be concealed. Note that the mark is not dispelled, it is simply hidden along with the target. A target that teleports away brings the mark with her.
