-Illusions are a useful tool for adventurers that enjoy using trickery and misdirection to solve their problems, and has a very high amount of added utility from player imagination and skill. It's noteworthy that the Illusionist class mostly deals with adding new sensations to the environment; if you are more interested in changing/manipulating your own appearance check out [[Charlatan]] or maybe [[Duplicator]] instead and if you just want to straight-up mess with people's brains then [[Mesmer]] might be more your speed.+Illusions are a useful tool for adventurers that enjoy using trickery and misdirection to solve their problems, and has a very high amount of added utility from player imagination and skill.

-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Magical Trompe-l'œil:** When you create an illusion, you can temporarily treat it as real. For example, you can run across an illusionary bridge, clean yourself off with illusionary towels, or pass through an illusionary door. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ticket to Ride:** You can only treat your own illusions as real, and they are only real for you. Nobody else can directly benefit from this ability. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo-Powered:** For every round in which you treat an illusion as as real, you must spend 1 Mojo. Once you stop paying the Mojo costs, reality immediately rewrites itself back over the illusion and the referee might have to adjudicate what happens next- if you were flying away on the back of a giant illusionary bird, for instance, the bird stops being real and you immediately start to fall. |+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Subtractive Illusion:** You can create illusions to hide real things instead of only adding fake things. Anything you choose to hide in this way is effectively invisible. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Delicate Trickery:** Creatures and other animate things are only hidden by this ability so long as they remain still. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Multisensory Removal:** If you also know the Melange ability from this archetype, you can effectively remove or alter other forms of sensory input (sound, taste, smell, etc) within the target area as well. |
