help > spells > phantasm ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spell : Phantasm Class : Illusionist Cost : 20 (adjusted by sp modifier and level) Casting time : 1 round Spell type : Illusion Difficulty : Level 1 Syntax : cast phantasm <modifier> <target> Examples : cast phantasm harry cast phantasm +35 deputy cast phantasm -10 einstein The phantasm spell will, in the mind of the recipient, summon up a violent monster that relentlessly attacks that person, until he or the monster are dead. But, the monster is only an illusion, and only the victim will be able to see it, or its combat messages. Everyone else in the room will just see the victim fighting 'something'. Since it is only an illusion, eventually, the victim will see through the deception. When the victim sees through the illusion, it will vanish. Using extra spell points to cast the spell will greatly increase the damage caused by each of the illusion's attacks, however 'the candle which burns twice as bright burns half as long'... The duration of the phantasm will also be decreased. If the caster is already in combat, "cast phantasm" without any argument will direct the spell to the target the caster is currently fighting. ----------------------------------------------------------------- See also: help modifiers, help spells |
