No one is saying that you have to walk away or that you're done there.What they are saying is that when you fail the save you believe the illusion is real. Which means that you should roleplay as if you believe the illusion to be real.That means no using detect magic to see if it's an illusion. That's metagaming. Because you're casting detect magic because you think it's an illusion, even though your character believes it to be real. The character doesn't even realize their is a reason to suspect it's an illusion.It doesn't mean that you have to go home and not do anything. You can 100% percent believe that the body is a fake corpse. That means that if you said that you were going to use detect magic on the body to see if someone caste gentle repose on it you'd be fine. You can use other ways to search for the kama.You didn't do that. Your post have said that you didn't even suspect an illusion till you got a chance to roll a disbelief check. And then when you failed you decide it was an illusion and wanted to cast Detect magic.THAT'S METAGAMING!You're only casting detect magic because you failed a saving throw against an illusion. Your hunch was a dice hitting the table. Nothing about that is in character.</blockquote>
