Primary spellcasting classes
Sorcerer: Mirror Image is available to Sorcerers as a 2nd-level spell, making it a popular choice for those who want to enhance their survivability and defensive capabilities.
Wizard: Wizards can also learn Mirror Image as a 2nd-level spell, adding it to their repertoire of versatile spells for various situations.
Warlock: Warlocks who choose the Archfey patron gain access to Mirror Image as one of their patron-specific spells. This adds another layer of defence for Warlocks, who often have limited spell slots and need to carefully select their spells.
Multiclassing and spellcasting
Characters who choose to multiclass into one of the above classes may also gain access to the Mirror Image spell, depending on their level distribution and spellcasting progression. It’s essential to consult the multiclassing rules in the Player’s Handbook to determine whether your character qualifies for learning the spell.
Magic items and spell scrolls granting Mirror Image
Another way to gain access to Mirror Image is through the use of magic items and spell scrolls. Spell scrolls allow characters to cast a specific spell once, provided they meet the requirements to do so. Certain magic items, such as wands or staves, or rings may also grant the ability to cast Mirror Image, even if the character does not have the spell in their class spell list.
