Summons a temporary mirror image of an enemy. Such a copy has the same physical prowess as the original, and can cast the same spells.

“I am just a copy of a copy of a copy
Everything I say has come
before
Assembled into something into something into something
I don’t know for certain anymore

I am just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow
Always trying to catch up with myself
I am just an echo of an echo of an echo
Listening to someone’s cry for help

Look what you had to start
Why all the change of heart?
You need to play your part
A copy of a copy of a—”

-'''Summon Illusion''' is a monsters-only spell which temporarily creates a hostile exact duplicate of the target (usually your character) as a non-undead version of a [[player ghost]]. This clone will eventually dissipate on its own, but will be armed with all of your equipment and spells until then, making it extraordinarily dangerous. It ''is'' vulnerable to [[Abjuration]], thankfully.
