I'd just like to point out that
currently dispel illusion destroys
one mirror image while dispel magic
kills all images along with all other
affecting magic.
Wouldn't it be better if dispel
illusion destroyed all images while
dispel magic would destroy one?
Thank you.

Yeah good point ... It makes the spell almost useless in combat if your going agenst like (40000*) Piirz *shivers at the thought* Or another idea is to make dispel magic not work VS illusionis or something along those lines.

If an illusionist doesn't have
any images about then dispel
magic should do its job.
On the other hand if there are
images about, one mirror should
die or whatever the random
factor it is that chooses what
gets hit.
I don't know if it's meant to
be like that but sometimes I
get hit (and items get crushed)
even though there are like 20
odd images around me.

I think the illusion effect is not as that our image. They might dont have actual power but the players should able to control their illusions like attack or fade casting or something else. Also the illusion should able to protect caster or hide the caster.

Best Regards, Kyo

I agree Kyo. Maybe a new spell for
illusionists can be made. Something
similar to what mages have with monsum
but only being able to create one charmy,
or even make it duplicate yourself. Sure
it wouldn't have casters gear. Make it high
level spell like level 95 or so.
Admin /GM feedback would be appreaciated.

I don't see why it should be able to fight, or wear gear, or take a hit, or do anything physical in the slightest. It is an illusion. It isn't real, there is no physical matter for other physical matter to react with.

Fair enough. I still think that
illusionists need more illlusionist
spells. I never understood how
everyone else around me can see
how many images I have but I can't?!
That doesn't make sense. There
should be a way to see how many
images I have. Another thing,
from the first post, dispel ill
should kill all images. It's
really useless spell at the moment.

Class balancing always has and always will be a very hard thing to do. Opinion always plays way too big of a part in matters like that. No one is saying they don't need help. Things are being worked on, there are other classes that need just as much help and others that could stand to be taken down a peg or two. Just bear with it. :)

If illusionists are masters of the obvious (illusions) then why can't there be two spells to help enhance their illusionary prowess. What I'm gearing at maybe there could be a spell to make the illusionist hideous to all creatures (Set charisma to 3 or so) or another to make him strikingly appealing to said creatures (Set charisma to 25). If you need a little justification in an rp sense to as if it'd work then here.

The spells themselves are illusion to what the other person's mind wants to see. So that way the spell of.. bad looking? (heh) can be that way for all races and beings. Vice versa for the spell of beautification Heh. Feedback?

I like that idea. But make it kinda like imp str? There should be no promise that it will be 25 or 3 for every single cast. Make it a range and only last a short period of time.

I like the idea, good work Guildus! :)

What about making dispel illusion kill
the mirrors? It gets tedious to cast
dispel magic on yourself everytime
you want to recast mirrors since it
means you usually have to cast 'levi' and
'det inv' all over again. It's major pp drain.
