Edwin is standing around with 5 mirror images. Then, an enemy mage casts Abi Dalzim's Horrid Wilting and another casts Finger of Death. Now, the Abi Dalzim will have only a 17% chance of hurting him AT ALL. Then, assuming it didn't, there will be only a 20% chance the Finger will affect him either, before MR and saving throws are applied. The Mirror Image spell protection is incredibly useful. The only real drawback is that Magic Missile completely cancels it, because each one of the missiles is calculated separately.
