Hallucinatory Forest (spell)
Hallucinatory Forest is a spell that conjures an illusionary woodland that materializes within the spell's range. This illusory forest appears entirely natural and is virtually indistinguishable from a genuine forest. The trees within it can be interacted with, allowing individuals to touch, lean against, and even climb them.

Contents
Any sort of forest can be created, ranging from a coniferous pine forest to a deciduous woodland, a tropical jungle, a subtropical rainforest, a mixed deciduous and coniferous wood, or a needleleaf taiga. Even the scattered copses of a mixed steppe can be made, or the stand-alone acacia and like trees of the Savanna.
Illusionary Effect
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.
