Description

I thought someone out there might make use of this "Greater Mirror Image" script.

The Spells.2da entry should be exactly like Mirror Image, except change the Spell Level from 2 to 4, and update the Dialog.tlk references as apropriate.

Update the Dialog.tlk with the spell description (Below)

Caster Level(s): Sorcerer/Wizard 4
Innate Level: 4
School: Illusion
Descriptor(s): Figment
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Personal
Area of Effect / Target: You
Duration: 1 Turn / Level

This spell functions like Mirror Image, except than an additional image is created in each round after the first, up to a maximum of eight concurrent images. If all images are destroyed, the spell ends.

everyone should have a look at this. maybe adjusting the spells level to fit into your particular world. Still a good idea.
