Magic Applications: Air Mask / noun :

First Page Mentioned (By Name) : ch. “The Aviary” – pg. 39

Not much different in principle than other forms of magical air manipulations, there are some key differences in air mask style spells. One is the function of recycling and scrubbing the air. Where other applications, such as artificial diving fins, will use the same air, air masks must actually scrub the bad air out (such as carbon dioxide), and replace it with cleaner breathable air (usually increasing oxygen content). Depending on where the user is, this can result in a long lasting air mask, or an air mask that is repeatedly in danger of failing.

Air masks can also help protect the wearer from breathing in particulates, such as smoke, dust or bugs, as well as heavy environmental presences, such as water. When cast, an air mask gives a light translucent flowing apparition over the wearer's mouth, almost invisible, but not quite. When in contact with heavy particulates, or even poisons, the air mask changes color to warn the wearer that something else is in the air, should the mask drop.
