It's why I've chosen to become an illusionist in the first place.    I'm putting this out there to get some fun ideas of what to do with this awesome spell. Here are some things I've already thought up:   Cling and burn: The target believes they're on fire. Simple damage every round, done.   The Nicholas Cage Cage: The target believes they're surrounded by a swarm of incredibly vicious bees that keep biting and stinging them. again damage every round, possibly with distraction benefits too.   Summon monster: Not interested in wasting a high level slot to summon a creaure to harrass your enemy? No reason they can't think you've done so! once again it deals reliable damage, plus with luck it will eat a couple of attacks before the enemy realizes something's up.

Few creature got high intellect (don't use it on wizards lol)   Great against those stupid brute who normally kill you with one weapon swing (bugbear, ogre, beast, most unaligned creature etc...)
