Mirror Image is a level 2 Arcane spell from the Illusion school.
Description[]
| “ | When a Mirror Image spell is invoked, the spellcaster causes two to eight duplicates of himself/herself to come into being around him/her. These images do exactly what the wizard does. Since the spell causes a blurring and slight distortion when it is cast, it is impossible for opponents to be certain which ones are the illusions and which is the actual wizard. When an image is struck by a melee or missile attack, magical or otherwise, it disappears, but any other existing images remain intact until struck. The images shift from round to round so that an enemy must first hit every image before being able to hit the wizard. | ” |
Effects[]
When cast, this spell creates multiple illusionary duplicates of the caster. These duplicates will follow and mimic the caster, and act as distractions for melee and missile attacks. When struck, duplicates will disappear until none are left. Mirror Image does not protect the caster from magic spells. Mirror Image will dissipate after all images have been struck, the spell has reached its full duration, or the caster has been dispelled.
