| May 26, 2021 at 1:35 | comment | added | John | @user2754 "occupies a space" has a specific meaning in 5E, it means an enemy unit cannot pass through that space. A hologram does not occupy a space. | |

This answer relies on a "plain English" reading that doesn't actually work, and ignores the fact the echo can attack and deal damage. "Occupies space" is also terminogy used in game to mean other creatures can't (easily) pass through it: it does not mean a hologram. With these refutations I'm compelled to downvote. | |

A laser occupies discrete space, it also has no mass (although potentially a fair amount of heat). Leaping flames from a campfire also occupy discrete space, and can also burn you, but you cannot physically touch them. | |

Look at the language for minor illusion, you create an "image of an object". Are you saying that "image" is also tangible? In normal English we understand image to be intangible. It is magic, it can deal damage without a physical form, as many spells do. | |

It just means that it is made of magic, is grey and it lets light pass through it. If it can attack other creature it means that at some points it has a physical form. | |
