Illusion

Illusion spells deceive the senses or minds of others. They cause people to see things that are not there, to miss things that are there, to hear phantom noises, or to remember things that never happened.

Typical Effects​

Illusion magic deceives the mind or senses. This school focuses on:

  • Concealment: Hiding objects, creatures, or areas from detection
  • Deception: Creating false images, sounds, or sensations
  • Misdirection: Making targets perceive something other than reality
  • Phantasms: Creating mental illusions that exist only in the target's mind

Common Illusion Spells​

Illusion spells excel at misdirection, concealment, and creating tactical advantages through deception.

Casting Considerations​

When casting illusion spells, consider:

  • Whether the illusion affects the mind or the senses directly
  • How observers might detect or disbelieve the illusion
  • The complexity and believability of the deception
  • Whether the illusion needs to interact with the environment
