We have seen a couple mirror shard illusions showing up the wrong color when players are using an illusion. Blue goblins show up as green, and fire elementals show up as air elementals. We can adjust to it, but I still think it's unintended.
I remember devs talking about a mat ID and something like an index ID for illusions. The mat ID would be like goblin, elemental, or djinn. The index ID (or whatever it is) would be goblin/djinn color, or it sounds like in this case elemental type. Event is probably copying the mat ID but not the index ID. Would likely be an issue on the code side if they can make a fix for it.
Bellos also show the wrong colours, we encorage illusions on this raid as everyone looks the same in gear. *glares at casters in the same blue robes & clerics in the same blue armor*
