I just found out a nice trick I wanted to share with you, although you already might know.
It is common knowledge that Mirror Image is very efficient in spell deflection. Because the way mages target you, it even can "absorb" area spells.
Now, you may have found yourself in the middle of a battle, surrounded by you enemies (sounds familiar, doesn't it?). One of the most area spells that does the most damage is Skull Trap. So you feel tempted to get rid of your enemies by casting one or two of this spell, weren't it that you would probably hurt yourself.
Here comes the trick: Cast Mirror Image first. This will help you also to absorb melee damage while you continue casting. Then cast Skull Trap ON YOU! You will lose one image but won't get hurt, while your enemies will.
It is possible that on occasion you may get hurt since there is a chance that not an image but yourself gets targeted. That's the way Mirror Images work - I believe.
I have only tested it once and it worked, so I hope it was not only luck. It works best for a Bard since he is the highest level spellcaster in the game (SoA) and so is the Skull Trap's damage.
