[QUOTE="Dandu, post: 5268919, member: 85158"] "You and the mirror image separate, observers can’t use vision or hearing to tell which one is you and which the image. The figments may also move through each other. The figments mimic your actions, pretending to cast spells when you cast a spell, drink potions when you drink a potion, levitate when you levitate, and so on. Enemies attempting to attack you or cast spells at you must select from among indistinguishable targets." Basically, they will look exactly like you so as to fool detection. So if you are under the effect of the Displacment spell and appear 2 feet off, then they will too. Here's the thing; Enemies who attack your Displacement miss because they hit something that's not you. Mirror Images have no actual form that they are displaced from, so this does not apply to them; the Displaced image of themselves is their only form. Now, Blur on the other hand, would probably help the Mirror Images because it distorts, shifts, and weaves the outline of the subject (you) and this would help the images avoid attacks. Just my opinion, of course. You can make an argument the other way, and it wouldn't be out and out wrong... [/QUOTE]
