Phantasmal Killer creates a featureless figure of an assassin equal in levels to that of the caster, able to approach and attempt to kill exactly as an assassin would. The phantasmal killer cannot move beyond 60 feet from the caster (ten hexes), so to some extent the caster must risk exposure themselves in order to move the killer to a vantage point where assassination is possible. However, at the moment when the killer is seen (see stealth), the spellcaster can move forward to bring the victim into the killer's reach.
| Range | 10 ft. |
| Duration | 1 round/level; see text |
| Area of Effect | 1 killer |
| Casting Time | 2 rounds |
| Saving Throw | none |
| Level | illusionist (4th) |
Note that while the killer can approach to a number of hexes as an assassin of that level would, the spellcaster's approach must be determined separately — so that while the assassin may not be noticed, the caster might. This could work in the spellcaster's favor, since the caster would potentially serve as "bait," bringing the victim past the assassin's location (particularly effective if the assassin's stealth distance is less than 1).
Once the assassination attempt is made, the phantasmal killer will vanish.
