This spell uses material from the plane of shadow to turn two-dimensional images into three-dimensional, quasi-real animated objects. For those who do not perceive the illusory nature of the animated image, it acts as a full-strength animated object of the appropriate size (see the Monster Manual, pages 13-14). Creatures that interact with an image may make a Will save to reveal its true nature. Anyone making such a save immediately recognizes all the shadow images as illusory and no longer suffers any damage from the images' attacks.

The spell cannot animate an image carried or worn by a creature.
