I always play that an illusionary fireball could cause fireball type
damage to a player character who believed that it was real -- but their
scrolls and maps (you do remember to check to see if your party's map
just got cindered after fireballs, don't you?) would show no damage.
That was often the only way that the characters in my dungeons ever
knew that they had been ``illusioned''.
