[QUOTE="Whimsical, post: 2542909, member: 3976"] It's permanent, and it doesn't go away when you disbelieve it. You can decorate the walls of your sanctum with ilusionary paintings on each wall, floors & ceiling. One room looks like it extends into a nice forest, another room looks like you are underwater with pretty corals all around you. Just for asthetic reasons, although I don't think you can create dynamic scenes, which would be even cooler. So, have your NPC spellcasters decorate their residence with it. In a high magic society, it's the ultimate in interior decorating and anybody whose anybody has their walls covered with pretty fascinating [i]illusory walls[/i]. It's also one of the cheapest permanent magical effects that you can create in D&D. And it's great for covering up pit traps, or setting up fake walls that you can hide yourself behind in a moment's notice, or to conceal secret doors. It's something that can provide a permanent total concealment effect and it looks like total cover. Unfortunately, it doesn't become translucent when you know it's an illusion so you can't really use it as a duck blind--unless you add tiny peepholes thruought the wall so that you can peek through them, and the peepholes are cleverly woven in a mosaic so it requires a difficult spot check to spot the peeper. Or just rely on your Listen check, or have [i]true seeing[/i] up, or use scent, tremorsense, blindsense, or blindsight. So, your adventurer would probably not have the spell online while exploring, but there are a lot of other uses for the spell. [/QUOTE]
