Illusion & Creation

Mirror Images   Regular

     Causes a number of illusionary duplicates of the caster to come into

            being around him.  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 determine which is the actual caster.

     When an image is struck it disappears but all other images remain

     intact until struck.  During the casters action each turn the images

     seem to shift so that, even if the wizard was struck, it becomes

     impossible to pick him from amongst the images.

     Duration: 3 seconds

     Cost: 2 per image; 1 per image to maintain (Minimum)

     Prerequisistes: Complex Illusion, Blur

            Items: Clothing or jewelry. Energy cost to create 100 per image
