|skillname = Detect

|syntax = DETECT ILLUSIONS [HERE{{!}}<player>]

|description = Find out all illusions either in a room or on another.

|notes = Also reveals who created the illusion if your skill is high enough compared to that of the person who cast the illusion.  (If skills are close to equal, it may take several tries.)

{{AB

|skillname = Dispell

|syntax = DISPELL ILLUSION [HERE{{!}}<player>] [<illusion>]

|description = You can either dispell a random illusion either in a location or on another, or you can target a specific illusion to dispell. This does not always work as you pit your illusion skill against that of the creator, though you can always dispell illusions you have woven yourself.

|notes = There's a small random factor, so if your skill is nearly equal to that of the caster, you might have to try several times to dispel the illusion.

}}

|skillname = ChangeSelf

|syntax = WEAVE CHANGESELF <race>

|description = Weave a glamour of being a different race. This will even hide whether or not you are undead.

|notes = Though some illusions last a long time, no illusion lasts indefinitely.

{{AB

|skillname = Invisibility

|syntax = WEAVE INVISIBILITY

|description = Warp light around you to create the illusion of invisibility, hiding many of your actions from others.

{{AB

|skillname = Reflection

|syntax = WEAVE REFLECTION AT <target>

|description = This glamour will create a reflection of the target, which will absorb one attack before being destroyed. This is a fragile illusion and many actions may destroy the reflection. You may only have one reflection at a time.

|notes = While attacks will dispel your reflections, movement does not.  The equilibrium cost to reflect someone else is much longer than the cost to reflect yourself.

|skillname = MagicMouth

|syntax = WEAVE MAGICMOUTH <text>

|description = Whenever someone enters the location where you've woven a magicmouth illusion, the illusory mouth will appear and speak the words you've embedded into it.

{{AB

|syntax = WEAVE ILLUSION <illusion text>

|description = The bread-and-butter skill of the illusionist will allow the creation of an illusion of your choosing in the room you are in.

|notes = Can be woven while off-balance, even off psionic balance, though not while off equilibrium.  Limited to 160 characters.
