Topic: "Touch" Illusions

[Turbs]

IMO the essence based illusions are simply created from the "Light" element. (as opposed to fire bolts being from the fire element)
so the thing is really there.  the art of resisting the illusion is being able to tell the difference if the bridge has been created from light or if its a real bridge..
Just because your spidey-senses tingle and you realize the bridge ain't no real bridge, its made from only light! doesn't mean the bridge goes away.

Gamemaster Law on page 88 states, and I quote, "Note that an Illusionist can actually creaate an object by using a 6th level spell (combining all 5 senses). Of course, the object is temporary (only 1 minute per level) and is subject to detection by dispelling it's Feel Mirage; but it is, for all intents and purposes, a real object"

It also states that an illusion can support 5lbs of weight and for every 1lb more than that gives a 1% chance of dispelling the feel mirage. This is checked once every round.

Therefore you can create a sword or shield and it will survive one blow per 'touch' but a bridge would only survive a few steps.
