[QUOTE="James the Newbie, post: 5966788, member: 6692006"] I've been thinking about illusions for a while, my interest in spells tends to shift. I've a few questions that the wizards site doesn't touch on. [U]For silent image (and as an extension minor and major image)[/U] 1) Would you be able to form a figment of two people provided they are connected. i.e holding hands, so long as they don't stop touching, and count it as one image. 2) Can you form parts of a figment underground? 2.5) Question 1 and 2 link, is it cheesy or creative to want to use silent/minor/major image to link many different human and monster figments under ground with illusory strings or shapes to create truly grand illusions. This illusion could be classes as an illusion of a strange construct, or a bizarre abberation, personally I think its reasonable, but when your in the players shoe's a lot seems reasonable, granted with was meant to be one of the most free form spells, even if this pushes that a bit. I can think of many illusions I would want to tailor, and creating the perfect trap to deal with an enemy, pinning them or wasting their resources seems like a lot of fun. Some ideas of things I would keep underground are. Portals, monsters, fires, walls, sheets of ice, blackness, blades, tendrils, furniture, specific visual spell effects, illusory footprints as if there was another invisible being there and boxes with treasure such as books, coins, art, spell components or gems which the person may be after. 3) Can you create an illusion of a giant chunk of pure blackness which would stop your opponents seeing, effectively blinding them, and give them a 50% miss chance until they hit a will save. Since you would see through it, it would be a good use of silent image. After all you and your allies could still see. 4) Can you create a figment of a mirror, if so would the reflection work by itself or would you have to animately copy what is in the mirror (Very challenging). Would figments of mirrors and holy symbols repel vampires. Could vampires enter an illusory home? After all its still a building. [U]For Figments to Include speech[/U] 5) Clearly this is meant to be a very inclusive figment spell, but it still doesn't say speech is included, are there any figment spells that include speech? [U]For ghost sound[/U] 6) A lions roar can be heard 5 miles away, and so is incredibly loud. Do you think the creators intended to let level 4 wizards make their voice this loud with a level 1 spell, or do you think that it was a simple case of them not expecting players to think so literally/to have this snip bit of knowledge.
