FYI for the above who might otherwise miss it when it hits the SRD, the new Occult Realms release has a 3rd level Shadow Enchantment and 6th level Greater Shadow Enchantment illusion spell that lets Bards, Wizards, Sorcerers, Mesmerists, and Psychics simulate any 2nd/5th level or below Enchantment school spells from the Psychic or Wiz/Sorc lists, you're not restricted to your own.
So not only can you do the usual flexibility and spells known efficiency from Shadow Conjuration and Shadow Evocation, but you can grab off list spells and benefit from lower spell levels, like using Greater Shadow Enchantment to cast Mass Suggestion (5th for Psychics) even if you're a Sorcerer or Wizard.
Finally, note that while Greater Shadow Enchantment is 6th level, you still get the 60% real chance provided by the higher level Evocation and Conjuration versions.
Psychics drowning under enchantment options and struggling to decide whether to spend their Spell Focus in illusion or enchantment should also give thanks.
Awesome. Thanks for pointing this out. Love me my Shadow spells.
Ooh, neat! Enchantment seems tricky to work by percentage, though. What is 20% of a charm person spell? I can't think of anything but duration offhand.
If you disbelieve the first save, there's a 20% (or 60%) chance it effects you anyway, so you make a save verse the actual spell effect as normal. That's he only issue if it's not a damaging spell.
So two saves, but it might not matter if they pass the first one. Greater Spell Focus (Illusiion), Spell Perfection (Greater Shadow Enchantment), and Persistent Spell metamagic gives you an incredibly hard to resist enchantment Swiss Army knife at level 15.
