[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6490887, member: 2011"] Your point is well made. There are other illusion spells that allow for investigation. But, the OP's point is still valid: Unlike most illusions, this one does damage. Unlike many illusions, this one is in the mind of the target, not actually a magical external effect. And unlike most illusions, this one explicitly states that the target rationalizes reasons for it to be real. There is also the fact that the companions of the target cannot see or hear the effect, so they wouldn't know what is happening unless the target explicitly says so. A PC walking towards the fake bridge would get zero warnings from his friends usually. Like the OP said, it's sort of a catch-22. Btw, I do not have the book in front of me, but can this spell be cast in higher level slots for more damage? That could make it really uber. [/QUOTE]
