When you cast Eldon's Egress Enchantment, you create a subtle, magical influence in a room or area that encourages guests to leave of their own volition. The spell affects the atmosphere of the space, making guests gradually feel a natural inclination to conclude their visit and depart, without feeling rushed or unwelcome.

The spell's influence is gentle and does not force or compel guests to leave against their will. Instead, it creates an ambient sense of the event or gathering drawing to a close, inspiring guests to consider leaving soon. The effect is akin to the natural winding down of a social event, where guests start to feel that it is an appropriate time to say their goodbyes.

Eldon's Egress Enchantment is particularly useful for hosts who desire a polite and non-confrontational way to end a gathering or meeting, especially when social norms make it difficult to directly request guests to leave.

Lore:

Eldon's Egress Enchantment was created by Eldon the Introverted, a mage who enjoyed hosting gatherings but often found himself exhausted by the social interaction. Eldon sought a way to gently encourage his guests to leave once he felt the gathering had run its course.

His creation struck a perfect balance between hospitality and personal comfort, allowing him to be a gracious host while respecting his own boundaries. The spell gained popularity among others who faced similar social dilemmas, offering a discreet and courteous solution to managing the length of social events.
