This spell creates a number of illusory doubles of you that inhabit your
square. These doubles make it difficult for enemies to precisely locate
and attack you.
When mirror image is cast, 1d4 images plus one image per three caster
levels (maximum eight images total) are created. These images remain in
your space and move with you, mimicking your movements, sounds, and
actions exactly. Whenever you are attacked or are the target of a spell
that requires an attack roll, there is a possibility that the attack
targets one of your images instead. If the attack is a hit, roll randomly
to see whether the selected target is real or a figment. If it is a
figment, the figment is destroyed. If the attack misses by 5 or less, one
of your figments is destroyed by the near miss. Area spells affect you
normally and do not destroy any of your figments. Spells and effects that
do not require an attack roll affect you normally and do not destroy any
of your figments. Spells that require a touch attack are harmlessly
discharged if used to destroy a figment.
An attacker must be able to see the figments to be fooled. If you are
invisible or the attacker is blind, the spell has no effect (although the
normal miss chances still apply).
