Wizards Cloak?Invisibility,silence&deoderant rolled into one

Hi I had dismissed the Wizards Cloak spell as being useless (only protects you from detection spells and abilities for a few minutes). However I then reread it and now am not so sure. How do people play its effects? Does it just protect you from magical detection or does it also mask your physical presence making you invisible, silent, odour free etc?
(BTW I'll preface my useless comment with a campaign note that casters in our campaign must pay LP & SP to buy a spell and spend days searching for someone willing to teach them so you only get spells you really really want them and not just for versatility, I'm not paying 500LP for a spell that I might use one day to make magical detection harder, though if its invisibility, silence and odour eaters in one etc its incredible powerful)
"This spell creates a magical cloak that masks the target’s presence. The magician pantomimes placing a cloak over his shoulders and drawing the hood over his head, then touches the target and makes a Spellcasting Test against the target’s Spell Defense. If successful, a faintly shimmering cloak of mystical energy momentarily appears, then vanishes into the target’s body. The magician’s Effect Test determines the target’s SpellDefense against any spells or abilities intended to detect his presence or gain information about him."
