Mirror image, blur, and invisibility


Rules Questions

If an arcane caster casts mirror image, how dies blur and invis effect the images? Do the images take the same form as the caster's "buff"? Do the images blur? Does the 10 damage reduction prevent the image from disapating if damage is reduced to 0? I bring this up because I have a player that likes to stack buffs and I am not sure how these interact. Also, what about sneaking? If a player sneaks do the images hide as well?

Invisibility renders the subject invisible. Mirror images would also be invisible.

Invisibility does not stack with Mirror Image or Blur. Mirror Image and Blur do stack with each other. The mirror images have but do not gain from concealment. An image will disappear when the attack roll is a hit but does not get the real target or is a near miss. So, if while Mirror Image is up and an attacker hits the real target, then the subject gains the 20% concealment.

DESCRIPTION
This spell creates a number of illusory doubles of you that inhabit your square. These doubles make it difficult for enemies to precisely locate and attack you.

When mirror image is cast, 1d4 images plus one image per three caster levels (maximum eight images total) are created. These images remain in your space and move with you, mimicking your movements, sounds, and actions exactly. Whenever you are attacked or are the target of a spell that requires an attack roll, there is a possibility that the attack targets one of your images instead. If the attack is a hit, roll randomly to see whether the selected target is real or a figment. If it is a figment, the figment is destroyed. If the attack misses by 5 or less, one of your figments is destroyed by the near miss. Area spells affect you normally and do not destroy any of your figments. Spells and effects that do not require an attack roll affect you normally and do not destroy any of your figments. Spells that require a touch attack are harmlessly discharged if used to destroy a figment.

An attacker must be able to see the figments to be fooled. If you are invisible or the attacker is blind, the spell has no effect (although the normal miss chances still apply).
