Illusions and Pattern Spells

Meikle641 · Post by **Meikle641** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 8:18 am

I'm looking for a quick list of good illusion spells outside of core, especially [pattern]. Optionally, good homebrew ones are welcome, too.

I'm still a huge noob when it comes to magic, so help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

There are very few pattern spells, so here's all of them. Not much to work with. Can't tell you what's good, I don't use illusions much.

Spell Compendium
Bladeweave | Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 (Also in CAdv)
Doomtide | Clr 5 (Also in CDiv)
Illusory Feast | Sor/Wiz 5
Moon Lust | Clr 1
Roar of the Waves | Brd 3

Complete Mage
Pall of Twilight | Ass 3, Sor/Wiz 3
Retributive Image | Sor/Wiz 5

Complete Scounndrel
Manifestation of the Deity | Clr 2

Players Handbook 2
Vertigo Field | Beg 3, Sor/Wiz 3

Song and Silence (3.0)
Choir | Brd 4

Vertigo Field is a sort of Glitterdust, slightly different, but serves same function.

Illusory Feast is pretty awesome save or lose.

Bladeweave is great if you intend to be hitting people, mediocre otherwise. Doomtide sounds good from short description, but might suck not going to look it up.

Other good illusion on same pattern, Illusory Pit.

There was some giant Druid illusion in one of the splatbooks. I never figured out why Druids got an awesome illusion.
