Hello, sorry if I ask too many questions, but regarding Misty Visions.
I have a 1 Divine Soul Sorcerer/2 Hex Warlock -
I would like to do a combination of Silent Image and one of two different attack Cantrips: 1) Eldritch Blast, and 2) Sacred Flame.
My idea is that I would use Misty Visions to create a 15' cube that I would hide in. I imagine this as a set of walls surrounding my character. I understand that any physical interaction with the illusion reveals it to be an illusion. My questions are:
1) Is eldritch blast considered a physical interaction, given that it is force damage?
2) Sacred Flame is described as "Flame-like radiance descends" Which tells me it essentially comes from above, meaning it doesn't go through the illusionary wall and does not interact with it to reveal it to be fake. Would this work?
3) Does the attack benefit from being unseen?
I suppose it my be able to pick up my chanting, but I'm wondering if the wall itself holds.
I'm basically looking to "stall" a round of a creature by making it waste an action to look past it. I'm also hoping it takes a turn or two to realize that the hits are coming from the other side of the wall.
I don't think there is a raw answer for 1, its a GM call thing.
1. Personally if the eldritch blasts fit the illusion it wouldn't make it obvious and would not count as physically interacting with it. A solid wall, well eldritch blasts don't just shoot out of them so I'd consider that interact. Wall of fire, things can shoot through that so I'd let it slide, a wall with arrow slits or something and the shots fired through the slits seems to work for me.
2. And yes sacred flame does not come shooting out of your hands which is why it avoids cover, so that should be fine either way.
3. It should act like any other attack coming from a potentially unseen source. Because it is unseen until it leaves the illusion like if you shot out of a darkness. The general rule is if the attack came from a unseen source you have advantage. Now if the GM rules that disrupts the illusion you would no longer have advantage on your next attack.
