The Reflected Image spell creates a duplicate of the wizard that mimics his movement.

Description[]

Reflected Image
Upon casting this spell, the wizard creates 1 image of himself that will travel alongside him. The image will perform all of the actions that the wizard does so that if any enemies are trying to attack the wizard, they will not know which one is real. There is a 50% chance that the attacker will attack the image and a 50% chance that he will attack the caster. The image will disappear with a successful Dispel Magic, when attacked, or when the spell's duration expires.

A more powerful version of this spell is Mirror Image. Only one of both can be active at the same time, casting one cancels the other. Also, several castings of Reflected Image do not stack.

Spell Revisions mod has changed this arcane spell, and the image will not be destroyed when attacked. See below for description:
Reflected Image
Level: 1
School: Illusion
Range: Personal
Duration: 4 rounds +1 round/3 levels
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Caster
Saving Throw: None

Upon casting this spell, the wizard creates one illusory image of himself that will travel alongside him. The image performs all of the actions that the wizard does, and seems to react normally to both physical and magical damage (such as appearing to be burned when hit by a fireball) so that if any enemies are trying to attack the wizard they will not know which one is real. There is a 50% chance that an attacker will attack the image and a 50% chance that he will attack the caster. The image is immune to all forms of damage, but will disappear if a dispel magic or a detect illusion spell is cast upon it, or when the spell duration runs out. This spell cannot be cast on anyone who is under the effects of a Mirror Image spell, and multiple castings of this spell will not create additional images.

Note:With the SR version, the Reflected Image functions differently than the original game version spell. With SR, If the image is struck (50% chance) in melee, or by missile fire, or a single-target spell projectile, the image will briefly disappear, and then returns another image in about three seconds. The end result is that this spell is much more useful for protection purposes than the original spell version. It also benefits from a positive luck modifier. This means that a protected creature can effectively not be struck by the first blow. It is very effective against enemies that only have one Attacks per round.
