 When attempting to sneak past guards or infiltrate an area, creating distractions can momentarily draw attention away, allowing the caster or their allies to move more quietly and unnoticed.  Used creatively, the distraction could mislead an enemy or create a false trail, allowing a little more time to escape a pursuit.

+Should the affected creature be attacked at this moment, the chance of [[Surprise (combat)|surprise]] is increased to 1-3 in 6.  In addition, if the defender is surprised or the attacker wins initiative, a +1 bonus [[Roll to Hit|to hit]] is granted.  If the creature is in combat when the cantrip succeeds, then it's response should be treated as if the creature were [[Stun Lock|stunned]].
