[QUOTE="Hawk Diesel, post: 7119963, member: 59848"] This just kinda hit me and seemed like a cool visual for a spell. Let me know what you think. I put it at 5th level, though I wonder if that is the sweet spot for this spell. I'm thinking 4th level could work, but seems not powerful enough for 6th level. Also, this is a first draft, so the wording may be clunky/could use some streamlining. Anyways, without further adieu: [B]Greater Mirror Image[/B] [I]5th-level illusion[/I] Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute Four illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, you are constantly teleporting between all four images of you, seamlessly swapping places. Unlike in [I]Mirror Image[/I], each apparent duplicate can move independently. As a move action, you can move any or all of the duplicates up to your normal movement speed. The duplicates can move in any direction, but all duplicates must be within 100 feet of the caster or else they vanish from existence. The caster is able to perceive or act through any of the existing duplicates. For the duration of the spell, if the caster is targeted by an attack, spell, or effect, the caster can use their reaction to swap places with one of the illusory duplicates, destroying the duplicate but leaving the caster unscathed. The spell ends when all four duplicates have been destroyed. Unlike [I]Mirror Image[/I], this spell continues to function as normal even against a creature that cannot see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as blind sight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with true sight. This is because even if the creature is not affected by the illusion, the caster is able to teleport out of danger and sacrifice a duplicate as a reaction, so long as at least one duplicate remains.
