ILLUSIONS - DETECTION

Syntax: DETECT ILLUSIONS [HERE|<player>]
Find out all illusions either in a room or on another.

ILLUSIONS - 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.

ILLUSIONS - CHANGESELF

Syntax: WEAVE CHANGESELF <race>
Weave a glamour of being a different race. This will even hide whether or not you are undead.

ILLUSIONS - INVISIBILITY

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

ILLUSIONS - 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.

ILLUSIONS - 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.

ILLUSIONS - 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.

ILLUSIONS - SPOOK

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


ILLUSIONS - 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.

ILLUSIONS - STARS

Syntax:     WEAVE STARS <target>
Affliction: Magic Damage Malus, Level 1/Max 3
This illusion exists only in the mind of your target, causing susceptibility to magic. It will also plague him or her with flashes of bright stars intermittently.

ILLUSIONS - 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.

ILLUSIONS - SPARKLES

Syntax: WEAVE SPARKLES
This innocent illusion will create a sparkling display of light and colour.

ILLUSIONS - BLUR

Syntax: WEAVE BLUR
Distorting the light waves around you will make you a harder target to hit.

ILLUSIONS - PROGRAMMED

Syntax: WEAVE PROGRAMMED <illusion text>
Power: 0 (for 1 line illusion)
       3 (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)

    Might as well remove Illusion, Improved, and Programmed with every damn change they keep coming out with unless, I suppose we're keeping them as aesthetic. 
  • Things I noted:

    Overhaul bards have an illusion balance of ~1s. You can weave illusions while off balance, but not while off EQ.
    Stars is a one time affliction, not a recurring effect. You get 1 level of malus for every casting, no more.
    Blur does not appear to be using the new defense system?
  • MunsiaMunsia The Supreme Goddess
    As per  weaving off balance but not off eq, that's been the norm for a long long time.
  • EnyalidaEnyalida Nasty Woman, Sockpuppeteer to the Gods
    It was changed several months ago to a totally separate balance to power them up for bards.

    Can we remove the terrible phrase 'bread and butter' from the AB for Illusion?
  • MunsiaMunsia The Supreme Goddess
    Rename to 'No combat effect' ?
