[mh] ritual path magic and creating illusions

[Merrick]

I'm trying to put together an illusion ritual for my monster hunter game and am having difficulty with how to stat it out. Specifically, I'm trying to do a "Mirror Image" spell (from d&d). Should it be based on the path of energy (greater create energy) utilizing sound and light to make an illusion or maybe the path of mind (greater control mind) to make people "think" they see something that isn't there?

If you have any advice please reply or feel free to PM.

Thanks,

Merrick

For that particular spell I'd go with Greater Create Energy - but just remember for RPM spells there is no one true way. You could easily base it off of Path of Mind as you could Path of Energy, or any other path with the right justification. For example to create a "Doppelganger" you could use Path of Spirit to summon a fetch from the netherworld or Path of Body to actually create copy of yourself!

Path of Mind would likely be resitable where path of energy would be an image so not vanish if the subject disbeleived it.
Also range is shorter.
