Your math is sound, but it's not that easy to come to correct conclusions on how it will affect high-level play without extensive playtesting. 2-4 rounds? In my experience high-level combats don't usually last longer than 2-4 rounds. Pretty good if Mirrors Images protect you for that long. The duration is better because it means that the images can be cast in advance, before actuall combat. And it isn't that hard for a high level caster to renew the images. If it "draws attacks like flies" in your game, it's already done it's job, hasn't it? Many attacks have been wasted on images instead of the real thing. In my game intelligent opponents usually leave the imaged caster last (if they can't easily dispel the images), because they have a bigger chance to damage and bring down an un-mirror imaged character. (Less combatants means easier battle for them.) Well yes.. it's just that the higher level protective spells have a lesser chance of protecting you, and that combined with easy renewal of mirror image at higher levels creates for a rather uninspired defenses for the casters (and pointless dice-rolling). That's just from my games, though. IMHO, YMMV  etc. It's all good. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
