Dusty drapes everything in the area of effect with a carpet of dust about an eighth-inch thick, as though deposited over a long period. The layer is sufficient to conceal footprints, bloodstains and other evidence of passage, though in a very small area.

Dusty
Range 10 ft.
Duration permanent
Area of Effect 4 ft. radius
Casting Time 2 action points
Saving Throw none
Level cantrip

If applied to a mechanism, the cantrip has a 5% chance per level of causing the gears, pins, levers and other moving parts to seize — making the device useless until it's properly cleaned, which will take at least two ounces of oil and 30 minutes. If a machine heavier than 30 lbs. overall seizes in this fashion, there's a 20% that a part of the machine will break.

The area of effect is large enough to affect one creature, who has a 1 in 6 chance of sneezing. If this occurs, combatants near enough to attack the creature are +2 to their hit rolls.
