Mages theorize this is true because these few inanimate objects are so often seen as illusions that they have somehow acquired extra power. So illusions of fire, walls, shadow, hand-held weapons, and magic rope behave "just like the real thing". So illusionary fire does burn things, etc.
The rest of the paragraph goes into further explanation. |
Yeah, I can see that. Did you see my post asking us
NOT to focus on this small and weird set of exceptions, but instead look at how illusions and images
generally work?
