Illusory Artillery
This spell creates a vivid illusion of incoming
artillery fire (ballista bolts, catapult stones, etc.)
at a target indicated by the caster. The illusion is
complete, comprising both audial and visual elements. It is impossible for victims to determine
where the missiles were fired from; creatures under attack notice the missiles only when they are
about to strike.
The missiles never actually strike — they vanish
inches above the victims' heads and do no damage. The illusion is so terrifying, however, that
victims must immediately make a morale check.
The first time a group or unit is the target of this
spell, this morale check is made with no modifier.
The second and subsequent times that the same
unit is attacked with this spell, the unit receives a
+1 bonus to its morale score (for checks against
this effect only) unless the unit has been the target
of real artillery fire in the interim. In this case, the
bonus does not apply.
