[QUOTE="dcollins, post: 208726, member: 876"] What Core Rules illusion will visually disguise an object? (For example, in the classical case of a wizard who wants to mask the particularly valuable magic item in his laboratory...) From my search, there doesn't appear to be any such spell. - PH p. 158 stipulates that "Figments cannot make something seem to be something else", and therefore the entire [i]silent image... permanent image[/i] family is technically disallowed. - The various non-figments which create a visual disguise are limited to creatures-only, not objects, such as [i]change self[/i], [i]seeming[/i], or [i]veil[/i]. - Some other spells will mask the appearance of an area from scrying but not physical vision, like [i]obscure object[/i] or [i]false vision[/i]. - [i]Screen[/i] will technically suffice, but it's very high level (8th), affects all of a large area, and only lasts for 1 day. Is there any Core Rules illusion I'm missing that will specifically change the appearance of a single object (preferably for an extended amount of time)? [Note: the only wiggle room I can find is the "illusory cottage" figment example on PH p. 158, which presumably must obscure vision of those inside from the outside... hence perhaps a [i]silent image[/i] will suffice to make a covering or apparent container around a normal object?] [/QUOTE]
