This set of parchment cards is usually found in an ivory, leather, or wooden box. A full deck consists of 34 cards. When a card is drawn at random and thrown to the ground, an image of a creature is formed. The figment lasts until dispelled. The illusory creature cannot move more than 30 feet away from where the card landed, but otherwise moves and acts as if it were real. At all times it obeys the desires of the person who drew the card. When the illusion is dispelled, the card becomes blank and cannot be used again. If the card is picked up, the illusion is automatically and instantly dispelled but can be used again. The cards in a deck and the illusions they bring forth are summarized on the following table. Use one of the first two columns to simulate the contents of a full deck using either ordinary playing cards or tarot cards.

A randomly generated deck is usually complete, 11–100 on 1d100, but may be discovered with 1d20 of its cards missing, 1-10 on 1d100. If cards are missing, reduce the price by a corresponding percentage. A deck of illusions is a rare item.
