[QUOTE="shurai, post: 208951"] If it were me as the DM, I would allow Silent/Permanent Image to disguise an item or object as follows: Since a Figment could conceivably be an opaque object of some kind, that means that it would conceal whatever is behind the object, because that's how light works. A Silent Image copy of an object, just a bit larger than the original and placed in the same location, would therefore conceal the original. But there would be many problems. The Image wouldn't be affected if the table holding up the original was pulled away, and if anyone tried to touch the object, the illusion would stay in place and the real object would get knocked over. Of course, a mage wishing to move the Image around after someone picks up the original would have to succeed at some pretty tough Spellcraft checks to keep the illusion in the right place as the person waves their hands around or something. And that says nothing of the person noticing that their hands have sunken into the illusion by a little way! Boy, this is interesting. I sure hope it comes up in my game! :] -S [/QUOTE]
