Level Up (A5E) How come phantasmal force isn't in LU?

[Faolyn]

I need that spell for a monster I'm converting! <sniff, sniff>

 

[VenerableBede]

Use it anyway.
Or give the monster a unique ability that is functionally identical.

Will minor illusion or silent image work?

Phantasmal Force isn't part of D&D's SRD/OGL, so other companies cannot use it.

Weird, because phantasmal killer is in the OGL.

Not in this particular case. I wrote up a similar ability, though. Not quite the same, but close enough.

How different does it have to be before you can use it?

Can’t you use the spell Sham Stuff instead? It is a spell that has a very similar effect, but with a much more original spell description.
