Demon Sees Its Face

[Flagg]

From the Cathay PG p105.

Does anyone think this spell is a bit too powerful? The gist is, you cast it on a mirror, vs the mirror's spell defense, and then it creates a doppelganger of the first person who looks at it, which immediately attacks them, complete with talents, thread items, etc. That means you could use it on a great dragon without having to overcome its spell defense, and suddenly it would be getting its ass kicked by another great dragon.

I realize that this carries the Illusion tag, so in my extreme example above, the great dragon would probably be able to disbelieve it, but still, it seems a little cracked out.

Opinions?

Well, your doppelganger being identical, it can't catch you if you run away...

But, yeah, it's a good spell. As long as you can get the right person to be the first to look into. Not yourself or your buddies or some random bystander.

Yep. Just like pouring deadly poison into the right cup.
