Silent Image to create fake Aspis badge?

[Cenorin]

Suppose a wizard wants to pretend to be an Aspis agent. To make his bluff more convincing, can he use Silent Image to create a fake bronze Aspis badge before he approaches his target? Let's assume he's seen enough badges to create a convincing image - can he make the image move with him in a convincing way? I feel like it would take at least enough concentration to negate any bonus he would get, but I'd like to know what other people think.

Thanks!

This is absolutely possible, and a clever use of the spell. Worst case scenario, the GM rules the shapeable area is stationary boundary for the illusion, so you can only show it off whilst within that predefined area (as determined at the time of casting). Other GMs might rule that the shapeable area governs the maximum size and general shape of the illusion itself, and that the illusion itself isn't necessarily restricted to a stationary boundary.

Enemy Aspis agents might also wonder why you seem distracted. :P

I think it would work, but Ravingdork's cautions apply.

Disguise self would also work, and moves with you.

I agree that disguise self is the better spell for this particular application; of course, you often won't know that the situation will come up when you're preparing spells for the day, so you might have to make do.
