Effect
Range Personal Target You Duration 1 min/level Description The base form of this spell is scaleable. Learning this spell learns the spell at all levels. The spell level it is cast at determines effect. Casters who must prepare spells in advance must choose in advance which level the spell is memorized at, while spontaneous casters may choose what level to cast the spell at upon the time of casting. Even if the spell is memorized at a higher level, it can always be cast at a reduced level of effect (e.g. if memorized at a 5th level slot, the caster can still choose to just cast it with the 3rd level effect, though the 5th level slot is still wasted.) The base form of the spell is mirror image and the spell conforms to all the basic criteria of mirror image with the following changes based upon the level the spell is cast at. Magus, Wizards, and Sorcerors are cast at the levels listed below. Other casters must learn this spell at 1 level higher to achieve the same effect. 1st Level: Only 1 image is created. 2nd Level: As per the normal mirror image spell 3rd Level: When an Image is destroyed, it deconstructs into a flash of white light which hits the attacker as if a single magic missile were cast at the attacker. If the caster gains any bonuses on their magic missile, those bonuses apply. 4th Level: As level 3 and additionally the attacker is blinded for 1d4 rounds, WILL save to negate. 5th Level: As level 4. When the last image would be destroyed, the caster can instead choose to become invisible as per the spell and transported up to 30' away. The image isn't destroyed and will fall to the ground as if killed. Any melee attacker will know that what they struck is an illusion. 6th Level: When an Image is destroyed, it deconstructs and the fading motes swirl around the foe who destroyed the image (provided they are within 10 feet). The foe is subject to a targeted dispel magic as if cast by the caster. 7th Level: The attacking weapon which causes the image to dispel is affected as if targeted by a disintegrate spell. Natural attacks cause the aggressor to take 2d6 radiant damage instead. 8th Level: Dispelling an image causes the attacker to be affected as if the caster had cast dominate person on them, assuming they are within range. The save vs. this not only as per an 8th level spell but also gets a +2 circumstance bonus in favor of the caster. If multiple targets are dominated in the same round, the caster can issue the same command to all of them with a single move action. 9th Level: Dispelling an image causes 8d8 radiant damage to a melee attacker, no save. Number of images are infinite for the duration of the spell, though only 8 will exist at one time. When one is dispelled, a new one will appear.
