Unless they changed it later, the effect vs fireball was one of the things that make it a super spell. I mean, the fireball is going to hit the mage no matter how many images are confused his enemies. Forget if they changed this in BG2.

<font color="cyan">It fairs well against Magic Missile, as it will take most of the hits sent at you, without you getting hurt.

I don't know about best defensive spell in the game, I have to say, I luv Chant and the like. It lets you take far less damage.</font>

Its a bit uncharacteristic though- untill the images are gone whoever is attacking will always hit the wrong one.

I agree, you should get a 1 in 5 chance to start off with then 1 in 4 etc...

>That's basically how they changed the spell for SoA. It'll give you a chance to hit the real mage. Don't think that chance increases as more images dissappear though.
