[QUOTE="Xetheral, post: 8243284, member: 6802765"] [I]Mirage Arcane[/I] is the true army killer in 5e. Any army that fits within a square mile and stays there for more than ten minutes (and lacks access to [I]Dispel Magic[/I]) can be effectively imprisoned in an adamantine structure for 10 days, which could easily be a death sentence unless they're packing a lot of water. Even if they have enough water to survive, you still get 10 days to plunder the countryside and raze cities. Alternatively, if you can lure the enemy onto ground that has already be prepared with [I]Mirage Arcane[/I], you can then dispel it yourself with [I]Dispel Magic[/I] and when the gentle "hill" the army was standing on is gone, they all fall to their deaths. You might (depending on the DM's interpretation) even be able to get them to walk through an illusory gully, ending up buried in solid stone or soil when the illusion is dispelled. And that's [I]any[/I] caster with [I]Mirage Arcane[/I]. Illusionists with Malleable Illusion can treat armies like playthings. Edit: these ideas are overly complicated.
