[RPG] Mirage Arcane, Malleable Illusion, and Illusory Reality: Is this legal

I'd like to verify if the following is RAW. It's very pivotal to a game of mine.

  1. An Illusionist wizard will cast Mirage Arcane, keeping the illusion of the area to be exactly the same as the area now. This conceals the presence of the illusion.

  2. Fly over to the targets.

  3. When they're in sight, use Malleable Illusions. All but one target will be surrounded by a single Adamantine dome that doesn't touch them, but it does separate everyone but one. Follow up with Illusory Reality, trapping everyone inside the dome in pitch darkness.

  • Each Adamantine panel will have AC 23, HP 27 per inch of thickness. But there's nothing stopping the panel from being 10 inches thick, so the actual wall will have 270 HP.
  1. Engage in a one on one fight with the target, win

  2. Rinse and repeat

Alternatively, step #3 could have no Illusory Reality section, as Mirage Arcane is tactile anyway. It justifies the solidity (having AC and HP) of the dome wall more with that power used, though.

Best Answer

Yes.

Mirage Arcane is a spell that is 7th level. That is higher than first. Malleable Illusions would work on it. The dome is one object, so it can be made real for 1 minute. All seems legit.

And, it isn't as overpowered as it seems.

It might seem like it is overpowered, but at level 14 the things you are fighting should be able to break through a 27 HP wall in an action or two. Moreover, that isn't their only way out:

  • Dig
  • Etherealness
  • Dispel
  • Counter Spell
  • etc., etc., etc.
