''Even surrounded by seemingly impossible odds, the Swordmage does not fear. Suddenly, there are as many of him as there are enemies, each one thrusting an elegant rapier through a vital area.''

This Incantation creates an illusory copy of the Swordmage for each enemy in the area of effect, which promptly impale the foes. If any target fails a Will save to disbelieve the illusion, it believes it has been grievously injured and must make a Fortitude save or die instantly. Even on a successful Fortitude save, it still takes automatic damage as if from a +5 Keen Rapier. A successful Will save negates all effects of this Incantation.
