Hang on...wasn't it so that you couldn't recreate an acurrate visual image
of Astral Space because it was so intensly different from one person to the
next, due to it being emotional input instead of visual input?

Well, I'd imagine you could create a wonderful illusion of Astral Space.
However, anyone who's ever really seen it would be very likely to just see
through it. Far more an educational tool that anything. (And this, class,
is what the aura of a Barghest looks like...)

It's better to use a spell such as Entertainment when what you
want is an obvious illusion. Easier to cast (less Drain) and legal in most
places :) .

Actually, I was more thinking along the lines of "Well, I don't really know
what a psychotic child-munching boojum looks like, but I think this image I
saw of a snark should work to scare the bejesus out of the guy..."
