Illusion Spells

Magic from the School of Illusion alters perception, deceiving others so that they either see what isn't there, or don't see what is there. It can also alter your own perception by enhancing your sight or other senses. Common effects in the school of Illusion are:

The following spells are avilable for purchase from the Mages Guild. The Guildhall at Bravil specializes in the school of Illusion, so most can be purchased there. Remember that for using the Spell Maker, all you need is the effect and the cheapie Novice/Apprentice level spells are just as good as the more expensive Expert and Master level spells.

Spell range, magnitude and duration have been verified in-game and some of it is contrary to the Prima Guide. You can pretty much take my range, magnitude and duration as gospel until Bethesda issues a patch that may or may not change everything.

I have been able to identify at least one vendor for each spell. There may be others and I will post that information as I come across it, but this is at least a starting point.

A simple way to practice Illusion is to use a cheap Light spell. "Illuminate" is a cheap Novice-level spell and it won't honk anyone off when you sling it at them. In dungeons, pair it up with your bow to work on Marksman at the same time. Gives a whole new perspective on "nuke 'em 'til they glow and shoot 'em in the dark." A short-duration Night-Eye effect is also an easy way to develop this skill.
