From: Sabotaging an illusion


The illusion of the Ghost depends on exactness. It will only appear if the mirrors are perfectly aligned; a difference of a degree is the difference between success and failure. So all you should have to do is move one of them. Presumably.

Failure

The Ghost appears

You sneak through […] Mahogany Hall […] There are the mirrors […] You push one of them slightly out of alignment […]

The illusion is brilliant. […] Peppercorn must have noticed what you did and corrected it. […] You can continue to watch and marvel.

Description summary:
You move one of Peppercorn's mirrors, but he notices it and replaced it. It looks like Peppercorn has managed to open up a doorway to a tropical world. Nothing seems to be working wrong.
