Spell

Rogue Holograms

Created by Alistair Redmont

This potent illusion magic warps perception across an entire battalion of soldiers, fragmenting a single warrior's presence into countless spectral duplicates that shimmer like neon through rain-slicked streets. Each heartbeat of the caster generates another phantom, making it nearly impossible for enemies to discern which silhouette bleeds actual flesh and which dissolves into flickering light. The spell thrives in the shadowed corners of a noir-soaked world, where holographic interference and digital decay blur the line between real and artificial. To master this art, one must audition before a council of shadow brokers and digital ghosts, proving both cunning and technical precision in a trial that tests the boundaries of deception itself. The proving grounds exist in abandoned server farms and empty industrial zones where no living soul witnesses the candidate's attempt to fool the unfooling. Only those who can convince the council that they've created a phantom indistinguishable from reality earn the right to weave these dangerous illusions. Once acquired, Rogue Holograms transforms any soldier into a phantom army, their true form lost among infinite reflections of themselves.
