\$\begingroup\$ @Szega it's an illusion - it's not much good if it can't "Illude" people. The "image" of an object must look like the object under different lighting conditions and different points of view otherwise it is not the image of the object. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ @Szega sorry, what's a "photon"? - creatures see by means of magical rays that shoot out from their eyes \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ We can cut this short: Does the spell description state, that there are limitations in regard to multiple perspectives/angles/distances/etc? If no, then there are no such limitations. End of story. I have seen this play out dozens of times and it never works. Someone claims that THIS single, randomly chosen "problem" must be considered for the magic, because... well, because the person bringing this up thinks it's important. It never is. It's magic. It's work as described. You are free to design an optics-compatible illusion magic system if you want that kind of thing. But this isn't it. \$\endgroup\$
