Going well with the thievery skill and the life of a rogue, possessing the power of Illusion will let a character create lifelike images or sounds to baffle and confuse.
Uses[]
Though you might not think so, Illusion is a sphere with hundreds of possible applications, drawing a guards attention away with a will-o’-the-wisp for them to chase or scaring off a dull witted enemy with the image of a terrifying monster are just a couple of examples.
Combat Effects[]
Illusion effects cannot be resisted.
Mirror Image[]
Illusion's Instant Effect is called Mirror Image. When it's cast successfully, the combat screen will say:
- You cleverly craft (see chart) mirror images of yourself...
This will give you a chance to dodge your foe's attack, which will result in either:
- Your enemy targets one of your mirror images...
OR
- Your enemy targets the true you...
Sometimes you will also get a bonus to your roll:
- +(see chart) adjustment to your combat roll.
Then you make your attack.
Illusion Level | Images | Roll Bonus |
10-19 | ||
60-69 | ||
70-79 | 8 | +1-5 |
Summon Illusion[]
Illusion's Sustained Effect is Summon Illusion. The illusion will have one of three effects: act as a Mirror Image, increase your MR, or increase your combat roll.
When you cast it, you will get this message:
- You summon a lifelike illusion...
On following rounds you will get this message:
- Your summoned illusion engages your foe...
If it acts as Mirror Image, you will get one of these messages:
- Your enemy targets your summoned illusion...
- Your enemy targets you...
If it gives you a bonus to MR:
- +(see chart) to your Melee Rating this round.
If it gives you a bonus to your roll:
- +(see chart) adjustment to your combat roll.
You will continue to attack alongside your illusion.
Illusion Level | MR Bonus* | Roll Bonus* |

70-79 | +6-15 | +1-5 |
