    |AnswerText=1. The casting and creation of the illusion should come naturally, practically effortless- but it's up to the player how tedious its maintenance becomes. Maybe the glamour stays perfectly in place. Maybe it regularly requires a bit of fine-tuning if the Spectral gets too distracted. Maybe it starts glitching out the longer it's up, and needs to be re-cast in order to look right. (Rebooting the spectral...) Really, it's down to whatever's most interesting at the time.<br><br>2. Spectrals can create convincing- at a glance- clones of themselves, but they will still not pass muster if they're prodded, and will dissolve away. While they're around, the Spectral might gain a general <i>sense</i> of what's happening around them, but nothing as concrete as having multiple new sets of them-shaped eyes. The illusion clones might behave generally as desired, but in a simpler sort of way. And similar to being touched, being questioned too much will cause their behavior to become more erratic, their ability to stay in-character falling apart.
