Trickster's Trail

A bit of foolery, a bit of fun,
They want a chase, lets give them a proper run!
Around and up, back and down,
A twisting path to give them reason to frown.
Confusion, twisting wild and free,
Grant me this boon, the freedom to mislead.

Hymn of the Trickster

Effect

Basic Effects: Giving them orders, these mirror images will take off, first to draw anyone or any creature following you directly, if you believe or know there are any such things tracking you. Afterwards, they will head off in target direction, careful to leave a noticeable trail, though not too obvious so as to give away it is a trick. They will keep just ahead, allowing brief glimpses to any pursuers to keep them on the chase for the duration. However this comes with risks. If one of these images were to be struck by a weapon or spell, it immediately disappears, giving the whole thing away. Those whom see these mirrors or the trail they leave must attempt a Sagacity Defensive Test. If they fail, they realize nothing. If they succeed, but have not seen the mirrors directly, they only know something seems odd about this trail. They can't put their finger on it, but they are suspicious. If they succeed and had seen one of the mirrors, they know it is an illusory effect.

Side/Secondary Effects

Tier II Effects: You may target an additional willing creature. The mirrors now require two strikes to disappear, and will seem realistically injured from the first one, except that it won't slow them down.

Tier III Effects: You may target an additional willing creature. The mirrors now require three strikes to disappear, and will seem realistically injured from the first two, except that it won't slow them down.

Manifestation

As you finish your hymn, a sudden glow surrounds you and your chosen companions if any, and then moves away from you all, coalescing a few feet away into..into mirrors of yourselves, exact replicas, true copies. "What direction do you want us to go in?" the mirror of you inquires. "We'll give em a dance they won't soon forget."
