Silent Image

Create a static visual mockup — no interaction, no sound, just the picture.

What This Skill Does

In D&D, Silent Image creates a purely visual illusion — no sound, no smell, no substance. It looks real but falls apart if you interact with it. The real-world version is the static design comp: a high-fidelity visual mockup that shows exactly what something will look like but does nothing when you click it. Figma frames without prototyping links, screenshot mockups, rendered previews, static architecture diagrams. Silent Image is faster than Major Image because it skips interactivity. Use it when the only question is what does it look like. In this grimoire, Silent Image is treated as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Silent Image (spell).

When To Use

• The question is purely visual: what will it look like, how will it be laid out, what is the aesthetic?
• A static mockup or design comp is sufficient and interactivity would be over-investment.
• You need to communicate a visual design direction quickly without building a working prototype.

Prerequisites

• No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.
