Phantasmagoria (Wizard Spell)

By means of this spell, the caster prepares a special form of the 3rd-level spectral forces spell that is triggered by some special action. The phantasmagoria typically is a full visual, audial, olfactory, and touch illusion that in­volves falling, sliding, or moving rapidly. The effect can be aimed at making the subjects be­lieve that they are doing so or that something else is doing so. For example, the phantasmago­ria may be triggered when falling into a pit, reaching the center of an area, opening a door, or performing some like action. The subject(s) will then believe that the fall continues for scores of feet; that a pit has opened and that they are helplessly sliding down into an un­known area; that a wall of water is rushing down from the area beyond the just-opened door, or whatever. Note that unlike the programmed illu­sion spell, the phantasmagoria spell must always involve the illusion of something falling or rushing, or a rapidly dwindling perspective.
Notes: Restricted to illusionists; uncommon. (Originally from 1st Ed. PHB.)
