06-27-06, 08:55 PM Silent Image can:

Reproduce the effect of the Darkness spell in a specific area by creating a perfectly black shape. Anyone in the shape will see only blackness until he walks out, and anyone outside will see a black object blocking vision.

You can also use it to produce the image of you not standing where you are to people looking at the illusion from one direction. Just create the picture of what that place looks like with you not standing there. It isn't invisibility, but it can help you escape the notice of patrols.

It can produce the image of doors or other objects and such, and then people will find themselves very confused when the doorknob was actually a thick, gruesome butcher knife.

The only limitations of the illusion is that it is only a picture, and you can't do anything else while the illusion remains.

Major Image:

Create a fireball in appearance, sound, smell, and heat-sensation. Fling it at someone. Submerge a half of it below ground level, leaving a flaming hemisphere. Cease concentration while your wildfire "sizzles" the wits out of your opponent.

Your opponents, with no reason to disbelieve, or with a failed save doesn't have line of sight to you.

A solid object image concealing you and your allies will allow a suprise round. Fog or total darkness, would allow you and your group to attack from the shadow without arising suspision that it's not the typical spells obscuring mist or Blacklight.

7) ooze slime and mold. Usually will deter further investigation. They also work fine with persistant image since they don't have to do much.

8) My favorite illusion; love.

9) Spruce up your camp/tent. Nice carpet, plush furniture, paintings, elaborite cieling designs.

10) Create an illusory house, (persistant would be more usefull for camps). Again your partymembers can disbelieve, and therefore attack from inside, or pass through walls.
