Default Difference between illusion spells: Illusion Shell and Illusion Disguise

Hallo roleplayers,

I'm having difficulties to find what's the difference between Illusion Shell and Illusion Disguise.

It's that the first can be cast on a object while the second only to a living being?

Illusion Shell
Quote:
The base object must be of the appropriate size and shape.
Illusion Disguise
Quote:
The caster must first create the illusion (using any basic Illusion spell).
Means that Shell could make a human look like an orc or another person, but not a fish, horse, flower or anything else that isn't aproximately the same size or shape. But with Disguise you can make a human look like a rabbit, a horse, or just about anything else. Also, while Shell fools Sight, Sound and Smell, Disguise uses the base illusion spell to determine what gets fooled and with Perfect Illusion you could also fool Touch.

I missed totally the meaning of those two spells, now I can understand that are very different with they subtleties - really interesting to roleplay!
Thanks for making it clear.

For some extra credit, you can read this thread from a few years ago about Illusion Disguise, especially Kromm's initial post in it.
