A threatening illusion spell causes one target to believe your illusion is a threat. Choose one 5-foot square within the area of your illusion; that square threatens the target as long as it is adjacent. Thus, if you or an ally is on the opposite side of the target, it is considered flanking. Normally the area must contain an illusory creature of Small or Medium size. However, you can select one square of a larger illusory creature to threaten the target. For example, an illusory Large ogre takes up four 5-foot squares; you select one square to be the source of the threat, and its other three squares do not threaten anyone. If the target has reason to believe there is an invisible creature in the vicinity, even an auditory illusion with no visual elements (such as ghost sound) is sufficient to convince the target that the selected square contains an actual threat. As long as you maintain the illusion, you can change the location of the threatening square as a swift action. When you threaten a target with this spell, the foe may make a Will save to disbelieve (DC 10 + threatening spell's level + your spellcasting ability score modifier). If the target makes this save, the threatening effect of this feat no longer applies to it for the rest of the encounter.
A threatening illusion spell raises the Circle of the damage inflicted by the Illusion by two levels, placing the illusion in parity with other spells.


'''Special''': As long as the illusion has remaining duration, you may continue designating squares to threaten enemies, although note above that made saving throws will narrow your options.
'''Normal''': Illusion spells generally have lower Circles, but are more flexible in their damage types.
 
'''Normal''': Illusion spells do not threaten squares.

You've mastered the art of making illusions that force foes to divide their attention in combat.

Benefit: You can use this metamagic feat only on illusion spells.

A threatening illusion spell raises the Circle of the damage inflicted by the Illusion by two levels, placing the illusion in parity with other spells.

Level Increase: +1 (A threatening illusion takes up a spell slot one level higher than normal.)
