Enthrall

Why fight or sneak you way past sentries when you can just... walk right past them unnoticed? Oh, this isn't blinding them, no. You do that and they'll know something's wrong. Instead, this spell causes their conscious mind to take a back seat. They can still see and hear everything going on around them, but the spell causes them to focus on something of the caster's choosing so heavily that they don't notice anything else. Once the caster releases the spell, the target snaps back into awareness and mistakes the spell for a lapse of attentiveness. So, when a knight comes home after a long day of work and finds themselves a mile farther down the road than they thought they'd been, it might not be because they became lost in their own thoughts...

Applied Restriction

The spell only works on a target who doesn't know that the caster is there, or at least doesn't know that they're a sage. It also won't work on a target if they're particularly attentive for any reason.
Should something or someone make a loud enough noise, the spell will break. Those under the spell can also break it if they realize something's wrong.
