It is stated that flares of 4 and higher make the cast mark uncoverable - it simply burns through the cover. You can hide in a natural cover with +2 difficulty though. Then also know that for 8-10 motes stealth is impossible, meaning that hiding in shacks, no burying in the sand... The light will pierce the cover, reflect and so on.<br/><br/>It is up to the ST to decide whether someone pays attention to it, but if he does, things get ugly.
