You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.
If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.
If you create an image of an object--such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest--it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.

Posted Oct 9, 2023Can be a fun, if not deceptive, way to also team up with a party member to avoid paying for maps (assuming DM approves). Caster studies the map while partner engages the merchant to haggle - then we go outside, caster minor illusions a copy of the map while memory is fresh (my DM required a roll to see how much I remembered), and then partner quickly traces it on paper. Voila, cheap map.

Posted Feb 1, 2024I would say no, it isn't affected by gravity. It's not a real thing with actual mass, it's a magical illusion.

Posted Mar 5, 2024I especially like how one of the examples of a single object you can make with it would be muddy footprints.
Not a chunk of mud that looks like it has foot-shaped depressions in it. A collection of multiple impressions of feet, each consisting of mud.

Posted May 18, 2024So this covers a 5ft square area, most doors for taller folk (like humans, elves, tiefling, ect) are commonly 6ft ish so could you use this spell to fully magically cover a normal size door (make it look like part of the wall) or make it look like there is one?

Posted Oct 7, 2024it does not mention how loud said scream is, so it could, potentially, be a sapphire dragon scream or something, so this part might need elaboration
