Illusion: An Introduction
Illusion
magic pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin: creates illusions. That is the simplest form. It requires great discipline and control over the mind. With illusion magic you can influence others to see things that aren't really there, to silence noises and avoid detection, to instill false emotions or turn completely invisible. Experts in illusion magic are often called illusionists. It requires a great sense of self to overcome powerful illusions and avoid being trapped in your own mind. Illusions are a favourite area of magic studied in the modern world quite often. Modern day magicians and hypnotists practice methods of influencing or tricking the mind. Some may argue that illusion magic doesn't really exist, that it's just highly charismatic people that can turn you against yourself.
Illusion Spells on World of Legends
Illusion
magic is primarily introduced in the Divine Arts, as the magic is very focused on power of the mind. You can learn to cast and overcome illusions. Dark Arts can also create illusions though usually with a focus on dominating the mind entirely. Dark Illusions can torment people, while Divine Illusions can lean towards bliss. If you study Blacksmithing, you may also learn enchantments to help deal with illusions. Armour enchantments can camouflage the caster or overload the senses of others. We highly encourage you to pursue illusion magic. Keeping a few illusion spells in your back pocket may just save your life.
