| A hand mirror which can create a reflection of a nearby creature, clouding in the process. The reflection's duration increases with Evocations skill and decreases with the willpower of the target. It is, invariably, slightly weaker than the creature it mirrors. |
Evoking a phantom mirror allows you to summon 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. Your Evocations skill will increase the illusion's duration.
The mirror becomes inert after one use and can be recharged only by gaining experience while it is in the player's possession. Carrying multiple mirrors is no more useful than carrying one, since evoking one causes all mirrors, both carried and stashed, to become temporarily inert.
You can use a phantom mirror on some very powerful creatures, such as Cerebov or the Lernaean hydra.
