Default Re: Using an Illusion's Senses

In fact, I think you could argue that illusions are mass hypnosis, though perhaps not quite as we have them on earth:

"An illusion[s] ... effects are the product of the wizards mind and the minds of those who see the illusion" (p139). And

"The wizard himself must believe in an illusion to cast it - this is the kind of self-control required to become a mage" (p138)

"An illusory pit ... You cant really fall into it - but you can think you're falling" (p138)

Many examples of "no mind - no effect" situations...

And my touchstone here:

"General rule for GMs in such cases: The illusion behaves as though the world were exactly as its master thinks it is."
