On the other hand, Baldur's Gate 2 does make it true that illusions can hurt those who believe in them, as we can see with Kalah in Athkatla's circus. As I said, an illusion of me could cast an illusion of a fireball without affecting my spellbook; if you believe this illusion is real, then the fireball is real as far as you're concerned. But it's not.

Project Image sucks for experienced players IMO, because it paralyses the caster. To make it good enough to call it overpowered one needs to play cowardly, which sucks because this game is easy enough as it is. I don't use it that way at all. I use my real spells and Wish-rest.

Simulacrum is a spell that requires a lot of work to build what is essentially a physical construct. It makes little sense that the player can get any number of simulacrums instantaneously by his side, unless they are summoning them, which I choose to believe even though it is not a Conjuration spell but the actual Simulacrum spell that we're casting. But then the Simulacrum expends its spells and cannot get them back, it needs maintenance, yet the player can just summon it again. How many did they build before hand ? Why can't they summon 5 of them at once, as per summon limit ?

I'm just choosing that Simulacrum summons a construct and Project Image casts spells that are actually illusions of real spells.
