I agree with what Scholarcs is saying. If ever I see an enemy mage cast Mirror Image on himself, I immediately attack with Magic Missiles to kill the images, before he can cast his next spell, which is usually something nasty. I also found that a simple spell like Command Word can knock over an enemy mage for just enough time to allow my archers to get rid of his mirror images. It's kind of fun to see a row of mages lying down for a rest! I also remember having a good laugh when someone tried to cast Lighting Bolt on my mirrored Mage - the rebounds took down 2 or 3 of my images but the enemy killed himself - c'est le vie!

One thing I did quite a lot with Garrick (the useless Bard) was to remove his armour, cast Mirror Image and then put his armour back on. This way he stayed alive long enough to contribute something to the battle.

Does anyone know if there is a list of which spells hit the images as opposed to those that ignore the images and effect the spellcaster? It would be quite helpful to know this.
