How does the spell work? This spell creates an illusion, similar to today’s Phantasmal Force – but not in the way you might think. For the caster, it appears real; they manifest it from pure belief. Whether it’s a bridge, a weapon, a creature, or some kind of force.
Characters who want to perceive the illusion as real must succeed on a saving throw. If they succeed, that character also becomes part of the reality of the illusion. If they fail, the illusion has no effect on them.
For example, the casting cleric and anyone who has succeeded on the saving throw can see and use a bridge created by the spell, while all others cannot. However, the spell can only create illusions that exist outside of the cleric.
Therefore, the caster cannot create the illusion that they are as large as a giant, uninjured, or have wings. Additionally, the cleric cannot cast other spells while maintaining the illusion.
Nonetheless, the spell offers potential for chaos and provides, as a quasi-absurd variant of Phantasmal Force, creative opportunities for those who seize them.
On the next page, we present Duo-Dimension – a particularly absurd spell that transforms you into a 2D figure. If you prefer a more impressive teleport spell that sends you to other planes, “Dream of the Blue Veil” might be for you: D&D: Dream of the Blue Veil – A teleport spell of a different kind
