I'm looking at the Resilient Illusions feat and noticing that its key emphasis is how it's used with Illusion spells that have a *Disbelief* component to the saving throw(s).
So let's assume we have a scenario where a wizard has the R.I. feat and decides to cast both Major Image and Shadow Evocation spells. Please tell me if I'm interpreting this properly below:
1. MAJOR IMAGE = The Caster Level Check actually *becomes* the spell's Saving Throw.
2. SHADOW EVOCATION (emulating a Fireball spell) = The Caster Level Check is substituted for the Disbelief (Will Save DC normally) component of the spell. But the Reflex Save for the actually Fireball doesn't use the R.I. feat's Caster Level Check ... and instead uses the Shadow Evocation's DC.

Please note, I find this feat very compelling but very confusing. So any way you could explain this feat in super-simple terms would be greatly appreciated by me!

Benefit: Anytime a creature tries to disbelieve one of your illusion effects, make a caster level check. Treat the illusion’s save DC as its normal DC or the result of the caster level check, whichever is higher.
1) The caster level check becomes the saving throw dc if and only if it is higher than the usual DC for a spell of that level/school/etc. That is, the feat never makes it easier to disbelieve your illusions.
2) Same as (1) for the Will save, and you are correct about the Reflex save being unaffected.
If that doesn't clear things up, you'll need to rephrase your confusion.
Thanks, Fuzzy. That's an excellent & informative confirmation on how I thought it worked. :-)
