How it works

The Secret Passage binds a half-dome of blocks that vanish on command and hide whoever stands inside. Draw it with your Zone signature and wake it. The pattern is spent, except its centre block.

Right-click the centre block, and every block of the dome phases to air. The Secret Passage fades into air. While the dome is open, players inside it are hidden from players outside it.

To close the passage, right-click a block beside the open dome, on the face toward it. The Secret Passage solidifies again. If something has been placed in the gap, clear it first. Clear blocks from the dome before the Secret Passage can return.

The dome's radius grows with Tier, from 2 blocks at Tier 1 to 8 at Tier 7.

Good to know

• Breaking the centre block while the dome stands unravels the magic.
• A Lock Zone can open and close many domes at once.
• The dome cannot take blocks that already hold other magic or Faith island land.
• Phase Zone is the larger kind, without the hiding.

See Toggles, locks, and phases.
