Mirror Image

Mirror Image is an illusion spell designed to protect the caster by creating illusory duplicates. These duplicates mimic the caster’s movements and simulate taking damage. Each image disappears when it takes damage exceeding a certain threshold. Visually, the duplicates appear as perfect copies of the caster, moving in precise synchronization. When cast, the area around the caster is filled with multiple identical figures that shimmer and shift slightly, creating a disorienting effect for any onlookers.

Mechanics:

• Will Save: Negates
• Limitations: Less effective against area-of-effect (AoE) attacks and cleaving attacks from large creatures.
