The SendingStone review

The #PassWithoutTrace spell is a powerful tool for sneaky characters and parties. The druid and ranger classes are the only ones who can cast this spell, giving them an advantage in stealth missions. The casting time of one action is quick, allowing players to use it in tense situations. Additionally, the ability to concentrate for up to one hour means characters can remain hidden for extended periods.

The use of ashes from a burned mistletoe leaf is a nice touch of flavor, providing a necessary component for casting the spell. Overall, #PassWithoutTrace is a valuable asset to any party, especially those who rely on stealth and subtlety to complete their missions. It allows for greater success in infiltration, scouting, and ambush tactics.
