Shadow Veil is a spell in the Arceuus spellbook that requires 47 Magic and completion of A Kingdom Divided quest to be cast.

The effect is applied to the caster, granting a 15% chance to avoid being stunned and damaged while pickpocketing NPCs. This stacks multiplicatively with the dodgy necklace, where Shadow Veil will attempt to avoid the stun first for a total of 36.25% chance to not take damage from a failed pickpocket.^[1] The spell does not affect the success rate of blackjacking.^[2]

The effects of the spell remain active for a duration ( $0.6*Y$ seconds), where $Y$ is the player's base Magic level at the time of casting.^[3] Temporary skill boosts will not extend the spell's duration and it can only be cast once every 30 seconds. At 50 Magic, there is a 100% uptime if cast immediately after the spell is available.

If that fails, the NPC shouts, and then the necklace does its 25% roll. So your chance of dodging the penalty is indeed the 36.25% you calculated, and you can see which one happened to you."
