Illusion (Glamer)
Level: Brd 1, Clr 1
Components: S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Area: 30-ft.-long cone that emanates from the caster
Duration: 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text or none (object)
Spell Resistance: Yes; see text or no (object)
Upon the casting of this spell, complete silence prevails in the affected area. All sound is stopped: Conversation is impossible, spells with verbal components cannot be cast, and no noise whatsoever issues from, enters, or passes through the conic area. The effect emanates from the cone held aloft by the caster. An unwilling creature can attempt a Will save to negate the spell and can use spell resistance, if any. Items in a creature’s possession or magic items that emit sound receive the benefits of saves and spell resistance, but unattended objects and points in space do not. This spell provides a defense against sonic or language-based attacks.
The material component is a small cone that the caster holds in her hand when casting the spell.

The wearer adopts aspects of the appearance of another creature, those whose skin comprise the robe. All creatures failing a Spot check versus the disguise wearer see him in this altered form, even those acquianted with the wearer.

Illusion (Shadow)
Level: Darkness 8, Sorcerer / Wizard 8
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Short (25 ft + 5 ft / 2 levels)
Effect: One quasi-real illusionary foe shade
Duration: 1 rd. / 3 levels
Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with); varies; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
You use material from the Plane of Shadow to shape quasi-real illusionary copy of your opponent. This shadow foe then attempts to slay the creature that it is a copy of, acting immediately much like a summoned monster.
The foe is actually one-half (50%) as strong as the original creature, though creatures who believe the shadow conjurations to be real are affected by them at full strength.
Any creature that interacts with the foe can make a Will save to recognize its true nature.
A foe’s shade has one-half the hit points of it’s original at the time of creation. It deals normal damage and has identical abilities and weaknesses to the creature it is a copy of at the time of casting, including prepared spells and equipment. Against a creature that recognizes it as a shadow creature, however, the foe shade’s damage is one-half (50%) normal, and all special abilities that do not deal damage are only 50% likely to work. (Roll for each use and each affected character separately.) Furthermore, the shadow creature’s AC bonuses are one-half as large.
A creature that succeeds on its save sees the foe shade as a transparent image superimposed on a vague, shadowy form.
Objects automatically succeed on their Will saves against this spell.
Creatures who’s spell resistance is not overcome can not be affected by the foe shade.

Caricature
Illusion (Figment)
Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One Creature
Duration: 1 min./level (D)
Save: Will negates
Mirror image‘s mischievous cousin, caricature creates an image of the target with certain features “accentuated” as determined by the caster. This image superimposes over the target, providing an illusory perspective of the target to onlookers. The image follows the target as she moves. The caricatures mimic the actions of the target, pretending to cast spells when the target casts a spell, drink potions when the target drinks a potion, appears hurt when the target is hurt, and so on.
Enemies attempting to attack or cast spells at the target must roll to see if they hit the illusion or the target. Any successful attack against the caricature destroys it. A caricature’s AC is 10 + the target’s size modifier + the target’s Dex modifier. Caricatures seem to react normally to area spells (such as looking like they’re burned or dead after being hit by a fireball), much like a mirror image.
Common features to be accentuated include the lengthening of the nose, changing the appearance of facial hair, or the appearance of certain facial gestures, such as incessant smiles.

Illusion (Phantasm)
Level: Brd 3, Sor/Wiz 3, Trickery Domain 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: one Creature
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates
This spell creates a phantasm to dazzle the unwary. The victim perceives whatever thing they covet the most, either as a stationary object, or as something the caster is offering them. Failing a will save, they act to achieve whatever they see, blinded to all other considerations for the duration of the spell. They will defend themselves normally but will take no other actions as long as the spell persists.
If the dazzle is placed in such a place that going to it would cause the subject harm, they receive another saving throw with a +4 bonus to break free of the compulsion.
The phantasm only exists in the subject’s mind, and so others do not perceive the illusion.
On a successful saving throw, the phantasm appears ghostly and translucent and persists for the duration of the spell, but the victim is not compelled to pursue to it.
For example, when cast on a greedy merchant, this spell would create an illusion of someone offering them chests filled with treasure. The merchant would be compelled by the phantasm to go to the illusion and accept the illusory treasure for as long as the spell lasted. For a wyvern, it might create an illusion of some helpless prey, upon which it would be compelled to go feed.
As a phantasm, this spell is a mind-effecting effect and so will not effect undead or constructs.
