Gameplay[]
The caster initiates the spell and when finished it is cast upon self only.
Once cast, the spell radiates a projectile that has a large area of effect, about a 120' radius.
Enemy non-party creatures within the area of effect are the only ones are the spell will affect.
Creatures under the protections of certain spell or effects with Illusionist spell school or secondary type Illusionary protection classifications are targeted by this spell.
The spell instantly removes or cures all of the spells in the description as well as creatures under the Hide in Shadow ability or a Potion of Invisibility.
Additionally, although not mentioned in the description, the spell cause creatures that are illusionary, such as a Mislead or Project Image clones to destroy themselves instantly, even if they were created by spells above the 5th level.
After the spell has processed the instant spell removal effects, creatures in the area may reapply or recast illusionary spells as normal, such as quaffing another potion, or casting an invisibility spell.
One of the few illusion spells not removed by Oracle is Mass Invisibility.
Despite Oracle being a level 5 spell, it can affect Liches and Rakshasas. It is not blocked by magic resistance.
