Illusions

Illusions is a highly developed magical art, allowing the adept to weave illusions from light and shadow. Some illusions affect what others see and perceive, while others actually insert illusions into the minds. While illusionists are popularly known for spectacular pyrotechnics displays during festivals, they also make great spies, able to use their glamours as the ultimate form of infiltration. Illusions specializes into the skill of Glamours for Bards, and Phantasms for Mages.

Detection

Syntax:

DETECT ILLUSIONS [HERE|<player>]

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

Dispell

Syntax:

DISPELL ILLUSION [HERE|<player>] [<illusion>]

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.

Changeself

Syntax:

WEAVE CHANGESELF <race>

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

Additional Notes:

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

Invisibility

Syntax:

WEAVE INVISIBILITY

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

Reflection

Syntax:

WEAVE REFLECTION AT <target>

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.

Additional Notes:

While attacks will dispel your reflections, movement does not.

Magicmouth

Syntax:

WEAVE MAGICMOUTH <text>

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.

Illusion

Syntax:

WEAVE ILLUSION <illusion text>

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

Spook

Syntax:

WEAVE SPOOK

From your darkest nightmares, you can weave the illusion that will scare any personal enemies who see it.

Script

Syntax:

WEAVE SCRIPT <colour> <text>

Using light as a palette, you may write messages on walls for all to see. You must be in an urban environment to weave this illusion.

Stars

Syntax:

WEAVE STARS <target>

This illusion exists only in the mind of your target. It will plague him or her with flashes of bright stars intermittently.

Improved

Syntax:

WEAVE IMPROVED [FOCUS] <delay> [COLOUR <colour>] <illusion text>

Power: 0 (for 1 line illusion) 2 (Any, for 2 line illusion)

This ability lets you set off coloured, delayed illusions. The colors available to you can be seen at the bottom of CONFIG COLOUR. The cost in mana is one mana for each character in the illusion. (To add a new line to your illusion use \nl)

As an option, you can FOCUS to concentrate on an illusion so you will not see the illusion unfold. This costs slightly more willpower.

Additional Notes:

The delay must be at least one second.

Sparkles

Syntax:

WEAVE SPARKLES

This innocent illusion will create a sparkling display of light and colour.

Blur

Syntax:

WEAVE BLUR

Distorting the light waves around you will make you a harder target to hit.

Programmed

Syntax:

WEAVE PROGRAMMED <illusion text>

Power: 0 (for 1 line illusion) 2 (Any, for 2 line illusion)

A programmed illusion will be triggered whenever anyone enters the location in which it is woven. (To add a new line to your illusion use \nl)

Master

At this point in your training of Illusions, you have progressed where you must specialize in an aspect of this skill to continue learning. If you have not yet selected a specialization, see SKILLCHOICE LIST to see what is available. There may be a choice between two or more specializations.
