Improved blink

Improved blink, also known as greater blink, was a transmutation spell that functioned exactly like blink, except that it allowed the caster to control the timing of travel between the Ethereal and Prime Material planes.

Effects
When cast, a thick fog appeared to the caster's view, and the caster could feel the closeness of the Ethereal plane. By using this spell, the caster could choose to blink just before being struck by a weapon, spell, or spell-like ability. This applied to people and creatures that inhabited both planes of existence.

The effects of the spell lasted for half a minute or longer but could be dismissed at any time by the caster.

Components
The spell required only somatic and verbal components.
