Hallucinatory Forest (spell)
Hallucinatory Forest causes an illusionary forest to come into existence, the edge of which will pass through the spell's range. The forest will appear to be completely natural, and is indistinguishable from a real forest; the trees may be touched, leaned against or even climbed.
Range | 80 ft. |
Duration | permanent or until abolished; see text |
Area of Effect | 1/10th acre per level |
Casting Time | 4 rounds |
Saving Throw | none |

However, while the illusionary trees will react as normal trees if cut, once any part of the tree is removed, that part will disappear — including wood chips that may fly away from an axe used against a trunk. Plucked leaves will also disappear.
This effect will not make the forest vanish for the onlooker, only reveal that some of it is certainly false; however, it will require spells such as penetrate disguise or dispel magic to truly reveal the full effect. Even at that, the scope of the hallucinatory forest will defy a complete abolishment, since even dispel magic will only affect that part of the forest within the spell's range.
The caster may create only one hallucinatory forest per three levels that have been attained; thereafter, creating a new forest will abolish an earlier illusion of the caster's choice. Forests may exist side by side.
