Is mirror illusion broken?
I cast Shadowheart's mirror illusion, it casts and then its immediately dispelled and the spell is consumed. Ive tried this many times and im not sure what I am doing wrong. Has anyone else seen this and figured it out or is it a bug?

Is something breaking her concentration? It dispels when that happens I think

Ps I think if you cast another spell that requires concentration it undoes any other spell that requires concentration

Mirror image doesn't take concentration. I'm not sure why the spell is failing for you, it must be a bug.

That's what I was thinking. Basically I click the button. Place it, the target dummy looking thing flashes and disappears and its gone. All in one instant. I saw a video of a stream where the guy cast it and it did the same thing for him.

There are two spells in play here and it is unclear which you are referencing, however, I think you mean MINOR ILLUSION not MIRROR IMAGE.

Mirror image creates three duplicates and adds to your armor class. It is dispelled one image at a time from successful attacks upon the caster.

Minor Image is short lived and is only for grabbing attention of nearby NPCs. I use it to redirect where NPCs are looking so I can sneak around them or pick pocket them. It only lasts until a nearby NPC interacts with the image. It is not a bug. This is how Larian intends this spell to be used.

Good luck!

Hahaha that makes sense. Minor illusion can only be used out of combat as well, which is why it is disappearing instantly if you try to cast during combat.
