Yes

2...does it affect projectile-type magic?
Yes (dmg - type spells)

3...is it identical to mirror image?
Yes
Quote:
4...does unit defense keep the images from being killed?
Yes
Quote:
5...does unit protection keep the images from being killed?
If target is damaged there is a chance that it was a mirror image that was hit and no dmg done.
Quote:
6...do you basically start with X images and lose one per attack, or do you lose all of them on the first successful strike? Are you immune in melee until all images are gone?
Loos all when hit.
Quote:
7...if you start with X images, what is X for units with Glamour?
8...what is X for units with air magic that cast mirror image?
X=1+(airmagic*2)

Unrelated:

9. With damage-multiplying weapons (like triple damage Flambeau vs Undead), is the multiplication on (strength+damage) or on the final result? And is the flame damage also tripled?
Multiplication on the primary dmg. Secondary flames must have holy*3 (like holy pyre) in order to have increased dmg. The fires of flambeau are normal and the blade holy it would seem.
Quote:
10. What is the probability of freezing or igniting an enemy when using a weapon with flames or frost-effect?
I had to do some checking.
Freeze: 25-temp*6 %
Blaze: 25-temp*5 (impossible or less likely during rain)
Quote:
11. If possible... how does Decay work? I don't know how to model a Bane Blade=)
1d6 (open ended) FP
1d2 irresistible poison dmg added to the 'poison pool' each turn
Quote:
12. What is the damage needed to dissipate "mistform"?
25 or dmg %
Quote:
13. Do fireshields damage once per attacker, once per attacker's weapon, or once per hit? Would a 4*Sword of Quickness Nataraja take 8 Flameshield hits?
Once per hit IIRC
Quote:
14. Same question for spiky armor - once per strike attempt with a short (length=0) weapon?
Hit also.

Thanks!

Incredibly stupid way to write post. Well, it's done and I do not feel like editing.
