Making another sun sounds hard. Teleport is a thing, right, and stars are like other suns? We just need to teleport a second star over. It'd even be good for the teleporter wizards because once we have the sun problem fixed we won't have to lean on them so much.

You cannot teleport a star.

Of course she can't, she's not a wizard.

You're all missing the obvious trick.

My trig is super shaky, but if I didn't fumble a number somewhere:

Permanent image can create a disk 36 feet across. Plant that sucker 4,000ish feet in the air, and it'll look the same size that the sun does.

Then, an object 4,000 feet in the air can be seen for 80 miles.

We take Reebs's square grid -

Don't you dare take Reebs's square grid.

- and put a sun down every eighty miles.

That's less than nine images.

6.25.

The square grid is lying to you.

It's going to take ten uses of the spell, or more, or less; it depends on the shape of the thing you're trying to tile.

Permalink

Still sounds doable to me.

Can permanent image imitate the brightness of the sun? Or - illuminate anything at all? It's a mental effect.

Permalink

If permanent image were Mind-Affecting, it'd say so in the spell description.

Figments like permanent image are neither phantasms nor patterns

They neither rely on nor prey upon a victim's imagination - rather they are figments projected from the spellcaster's.

Though it's hardly a surprise that lazy Lyvina Mayyad pays as little mind to her masters of Illusion as she does her class on Evocations.

You must love the taste of leafy greens, Vodka.

Are we rolling initiative? I got an 18!

...No?

Come on, prof, pick the fight, I wanna do something this session.

Salgar, be polite to my fucking bodyguards.

....Irevotnin does not feel like he is the party in the wrong here??

Permalink

Figments apparently aren't mind-affecting even though if you pass a Will save you can see straight through them.

Because that makes sense.

Permalink

Yes!

Yes it makes sense!

If you can't see the sense of it that is your problem, not - magic's? 

??

Irevotnin is so incensed that he's going to cast a silent image for Lyvina to look at.

You can disbelieve a figment and see it for the illusion that it is, but the figment remains. Observe!

See the hopping rabbit on the table? You're quick enough to suspect it as an illusion, yes? Now disbelieve in it and see it for the optical illusion that it is? Notice how your own mind had filled in texture and opacity that the illusory rabbit doesn't have, but what you were seeing hasn't changed, only your understanding of it?

Figmentary noises still bedevil you if you disbelieve their reality, you're just aware of what they are.

Likewise figmentary images still appear as they always did, but if you're watching for it you can see the sleight of hand.

Oh, so it's a weird magic eye thing!
