This spell, like so many others, is noticed as a wizard is being built but doesn't make the final cut due to the cost.

It would be interesting if an Unarmed Combatist learned it but Silent Movement Talent is much cheaper at 2 IQ points and no ST cost instead of 3 IQ points and 1ST/turn.

Now, getting silent movement in a ring/item would be a cool. Per the table in ITL, page 150, it's $2000. Not cheap unless you through money around like candy as a GM. Even then, it will still cost 1 ST/turn unless you spend at least 10 times that for self-powered.

It's still an expensive spell no matter how you access it but it would be a bit of a game changer. Sort of like an unexpected use of Mage Sight.

I can see some NPCs getting this ability in the future. Thanks for the reminder @Shostak.
