- This page is about the item. For the monster-only spell, see Phantom Mirror (spell).
A hand mirror which can create a reflection of a nearby creature, shattering in the process. The reflection's duration increases with Evocations skill and decreases with the magic resistance of the target. It is, invariably, slightly weaker than the creature it mirrors. |
Evoking a phantom mirror allows you to summon into existence an exact duplicate of a single non-player target. The illusion spawns drained, with only 2/3 of the base HD of the mirrored monster. The mirror is a one-use item, and will be destroyed upon a successful use.
As a wizard-hating god, Trog forbids duplicating any target with a Wizard flag Spell, but doesn't mind copying monsters with magical-, demonic- and priest-flag spells.
You can use it on some very powerful creatures, such as Cerebov or Lernie.
