----------------------------------------------------------------- Spell : Phantasm Class : Illusionist Cost : 20 (adjusted by sp modifier) 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. The illusions are generally high level monsters, but very short lived. Using extra spell points to cast the spell always increases the level of the summoned illusion, in addition to increasing the chance of success. 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 Oct 94
