These spells conjure an illusion of a minion to aid the caster in combat.
The illusions will attack with melee hits, deceiving the opponent into
thinking they are real -- and the damage they cause certainly is. The
illusion vanishes when the opponent is intelligent enough to finally
realise that his attacker is only an illusion, or when the illusionist
chooses to fight something else or is attacked by something else.
An important detail is that all of these illusions will assist when the
illusionist is attacked, however, in this case they will no longer assist
during the second round after fighting starts, so that this is devastating
if and only if someone is attempting to repeatedly attack the illusionist
as quickly as humanly possible.
* The
DREAMSTRUCK spell improves the damage and duration of these phantasms.
* Higher caster intelligence improves the chances of fooling player targets into
taking damage. See also:
