No, it can't. See the example of the illusion of a pit, which might result in someone thinking they've fallen in, but really when the illusion ends, they'll be seen to just be lying on the ground.

People who disbelieve walls tend to be people who are familiar with a place to know there wasn't a wall there before, or who saw the wall magically appear.
OK, what does "Illusions of Inanimate Objects" on page 139 mean when it says these illusions of walls, shadows, fire, hand-held weapons, and magic rope "behave just like the real thing until it vanishes or is disbelieved"?

What is the "extra power" that the section says this limited set of illusions has acquired?

Why does it specifically list only these illusions as having acquired this "extra power"?
