Manifestation

There are many ways that Illusion magic manifests in the world. Some examples follow:

Visual Illusions: Creating false images, such as hallucinations, mirages, and disguises. Manipulating the perception of their surroundings, making things appear differently than they actually are. This type of illusion is meant to visually misdirect and confuse.
Mental Illusions: Changing their perception of the world. When you have to question everything you hear, see or feel because you're dealing with mental illusions, it can be difficult to know what is real.
Auditory Illusions: False sounds, such as echoes, whispers, or phantom noises. This type of illusion allows the user to manipulate the perception of sound and can be used for misdirection to create confusion or to intimidate.
Kinetic Illusions: Creating false sensations of movement or force, such as vibrations or phantom touches. This type of illusion allows the user to manipulate the perception of movement and can be used for distraction or to create the illusion of presence.
Disguises: The ability to mimic something or someone completely without ability to discern reality is a powerful tool. Generally used to deceive or gain something you wouldn't typically be able to.
