Elaborate Flourish
You embellish your spellcasting with entrancing flourishes and grand pronouncements, making it harder to identify or counter.
If the next action you use is to Cast a Spell, creatures with the ability to Cast that Spell don't automatically know what the spell is.
In addition, creatures that witness your spellcasting take a -2 circumstance penalty to checks to identify the spell with Recall Knowledge and checks to counteract the spell during its casting (such as with Counterspell).
Traits
An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.
You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can't perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.
This indicates abilities from the sorcerer class.
Spellshape actions tweak the properties of your spells. You must use a spellshape action directly before casting the spell you want to alter. If you use any action (including free actions and reactions) other than casting a spell directly after, you waste the benefits of the spellshape action. The benefit is also lost if your turn ends before you cast the spell. Any additional effects added by a spellshape action are part of the spell's effect, not of the spellshape action itself.
