Illusions (Silent, Minor, Major)

PF2e has a lack of Illusion spells, likely out of a fear for them being easily broken or abused, however, I think its a critical part of magic that is missing, so....

[Concentrate][Manipulate][Illusion]


Source: Me

Traditions: Arcane, Occult

Range:  120 feet; Targets: up-to a 15ft cube

Duration: Sustained


You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn't accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.

When you sustain the spell, you can cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.

Any creature that touches the illusion or uses the Seek action to examine it can attempt to disbelieve your illusion.
