Then how about trying to educate me about it? It's 1) an illusion and 2) arcane -- thus from what we know it is an illusion spell. What does it being a utility spell vs encounter or daily have to do with it?

This thread indicates that the wizard will have Mirror Image -- which is an illusion spell.

Umm, yes it does. That's the whole point. You take the standard (core) rules and apply them in any situation, except where it is changed/modified by any supplements you use or changed/modified by your gaming group. Since we have to assume that there are no changes just in the gaming group...

Actually, Monte is a good designer, and will specifically design his products to work within the rules of the core rulebooks -- that's the whole point of his products: to work with the D&D system. Oh, and Monte has chimed in (over on his boards, where this discussion originated) saying that...

Sorry, I should have clarified it a bit more. A spellsong is the type of spell that the variant bard published by Monte Cook (in the Book of Eldritch Might 2) can cast. They are arcane in nature, and effectively only have level 1, 3, and 5 spells (called spellnotes, spellchords, and...

That's pretty much what I said. Then I got the question "Is that official?" from Mistwell. Having used official rules to determine how it worked (that you couldn't use the feat in item creation) I said "Yes, it is official" But apparently Mistwell doesn't think anything is official until it...

Ahh, okay, thanks for the heads-up on that ^_^ Right, but, it does not neccesarily mean that it is actually cast. Allow me to give you a little more background: There is a feat that can increase a spellsong's duration by a certain amount when the spellsong is cast. The amount that it is...

No. But then, if you read the whole section that I refer you to, you'll find more indications that the spell is not cast. Let's look at the section for wondrous items (DMG, page 246): "If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making the item, the creator must have prepared the spells...

True, the end result would be the same -- except that unless you Rule-0 your game, that's not how it works. It's actually stated that the spell is not cast, just removed from memory as if it had been cast. So while the end result of what you say would end up being the same, the method that you...

Sure it does. I'd hate to have to go to a fire-proof/resistant area to create a wand of fireballs ^_^

Okay... Allow me to clarify things, as I think I'm the one Mistwell is talking about ^_^ 1) The spellcaster does not actually cast the spells. Read the descriptions in the DMG pages 244-246 -- they say that the spell is triggered and removed from memory (or the spell slot is used up for...
