[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8218639, member: 2629"] Minor Illusion, SIlent Image, Phantasmal Force, Major Image, Programmed Illusion. These spells all have differences, but they all share some defining language when they make a visual illusion: They must be "[B]no larger than a XX-foot cube".[/B] How do we all play this restriction? What do we mean by larger? Is this a maximum for any dimension, or is it a volumetric concept? Is it: [B]FITS WITHIN: [/B]The illusion must fit within the specified space? [B]HAS THE VOLUME OF: [/B]It does not need to fit within the specified space so long as the volume of the illusion is no greater than the specified space? A pole that has a width of one inch but is 50 feet long would not fit into any of these areas, so would not be eligible under the "fits within", but it has such a small volume that it would have less volume than the 5 foot cube created by a minor illusion. If we decide on the more restrictive, what if the illusion has features that allow it to change, and the change would make it extend further than the initial "fits within" size? For example, a major image creates a 20' tall extendable ladder. If it is then extended, so that it is now 40' tall, and that entire area is within the range of the spell - what happens? [/QUOTE]
