Any attack with an illusion bane weapon ignores any miss chance created by an illusion effect (including effects that mimic illusions, such as a displacer beast’s displacement effect). However, you must still target the correct square when making an attack against a for that has total concealment. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.
In addition, once per day you can activate an illusion bane weapon to destroy illusion effects. This ability can take one of two forms:
After hitting a creature, you can activate the weapon in the same round to make a dispel check (1d20+10) against each illusion spell currently affecting the target.
This effect essentially acts as a targeted dispel magic spell, but it functions only against magic of the illusion school. You must make a separate check for each illusion spell affecting the target.
Alternatively, you can attempt to dispel a single illusion by touching it with the illusion bane weapon and speaking the appropriate command word. For example, touching a silent image spell (or an image generated by the mirror image spell) with the weapon subjects it to the dispel check immediately. A successful check against any part of the illusion dispels the whole effect, so dispelling one mirror image ends the spell entirely for the target creature.
