One example given is it thinks it is the type of damage you make it seem like. So if you were to create a fire effect using phantasmal force on a red dragon, it would take no damage because it knows it is immune to fire. If you create a restraining effect and it misses its intelligence save, it would think its wings were restrained. It would try to use its strength to break out, since that is how it normally reacts to a restraining effect. Illusion spells by their nature cannot cover every type of effect. The spell interpretation is clear that it treats the phantasmal effect as though it were real justifying everything it does. It may have to make a strength check every round, but it would still get one. It would make it seem as though the chains were still on its wings. Nowhere does it say in the phantasmal effect you get to automatically restrain things, take away its abilities automatically, or anything of the kind. That would make phantasmal force more powerful than 9th level spells. It don't work like that. It creates an effect that causes the creature to interact with it in an appropriate fashion if it misses its intelligence save.</blockquote>
