 The depth and size of the area affected must be assigned in cubic areas of 60 ft. each, though if the total size of the hallucinatory terrain is less than 60 ft. across (for example, a hole just three feet or three inches across is desired), then this is possible.

 Likewise, observers experience the unreal terrain as it's meant to feel: one can swim in the pond that's created, or climb into crevices or caves, or upon rocks, or step off a cliff while believing they're walking across even ground.  This is because even if the terrain "feels" right, it isn't real.  Found edibles don't provide sustenance and illusionary water can't make the observer wet.  Any "effect" is actually only in the mind of the witnessing character.
 == Saving Throws ==
-Before an observer can actually come to harm, however, he or she is allowed a saving throw.  A success won't reveal the illusion, but it will cause the character interacting with the terrain will just "decide" to go somewhere else, or get interested in something else, and thus not walk off the cliff.  A successful save may also suggest that the visible bridge is unsafe, that it won't actually support the character's weight and so on.
+All those observing the spell being cast and the visible terrain being altered are free to making a saving throw; success enables observers to recognise the original terrain beneath a transparent overlay of the hallucinatory terrain, so that both can be seen at the same time.  Those not making saving throw can be seen to act "silly" as they take actions of climbing, swimming, eating and so on, as the terrain continues to seem real to them.
 == Limitations ==
 The spell cannot create living creatures using the spell, nor can it blot out the existence of these creatures.  Thus, denizens are visible inasmuch as they can be seen behind the hallucinatory terrain's features; moving left or right would reveal such behind a tree, for instance.
-If the observer knows the terrain is inaccurate, because they are well familiar with the area, then a saving throw is allowed — the success of which would confirm the observer's suspicion that the terrain is false (though it's appearance is unchanged by this revelation).  A [[Detect Illusion (spell)|detect illusion]] spell reveals the real terrain, causing the hallucinatory terrain to become a transparent visage that can be seen through.
