@elwing I think that might have just been a bug on live

It definitely sounds like one anyways.
@Vermicelli Well I've already cracked down on how it works exactly in game, I just don't know how it was "supposed" to be back in the early days... other than my own experiences with it.
I remember back in the kunark days (before velious) I used it once to avoid a PKer that was running through erudin killing everyone in sight. I turned into a lamp and he just ran right past me and killed someone down by the library. It'd be hard to say that it was because I looked like a lamp to him since I was just a newbie back then, I might not have been "worth it" to kill, but I do know that back then whenever I used it, people could not find/target me, which makes me think that it worked way differently than it does on p99 server.
mind you I only got to level 10 or so back then, but I definitely know that minor illusion did not work like this, and I can only hazard a guess about the various other illusion spells.
The height thing I've personally seen too... gnomes growing to like 7 feet tall is hilarious and entirely a unique glitch/bug to p99.
