Creation Rule Unification Doctrine
CRUD: The following applies to all Summon animate X, Illusions, Images, Staff to Snake, Zombies and Controlled Humanoids, Animals and Elementals.
Page 20: "Caster can see through its eyes. Its other senses are also available, though the wizard will not understand everything that a rat smells or a bat hears, and may interpret those senses as vision!" Page 137: "A wizard can see through the eyes of the summoned beings, images, or illusions brought by his Creation spells. If he has Mage Sight, his creations have it too." Page 139: "An illusion can have any IQ 7 weapon talent. It can have other weapon talents, or Unarmed Combat talents, only if it mimics a known person with such a talent. It can have no other talents. However, a figure who possesses Literacy, Alertness, Naturalist, or any other talent for observation can use that talent through the eyes of any illusion that he creates." These notes do not apply to figures under verbal command such as created (not controlled) Elementals, Zombies on which the only control is via the Zombie Ring, etc. I.e. if you create an Iron Elemental it wouldn't know what to do with a sword but if you put it under the Control Elemental spell it suddenly has the Sword talent even if the caster doesn't.

Re: Creation Rule Unification Doctrine
So how much of an Illusion is "automated"?
By that I mean, does the caster have to keep some attention on the Illusion at all times? What if he is asleep? How do you play it? If the wizard is busy and someone asks the Illusion a question, does the Illusion stay in pause mode until the wizard notices and then has to have the Illusion ask what was just said? Or do you have the Illusion answer rudimentarily even if the wizard is busy?

I.e. the Maintain Illusion enchantment is useless. CRUD cases considered: http://www.hcobb.com/tft/house_rules.html#CRUD
