Scope
This skill can be used to create, control or dim lights and illusions. Illusions can be created in a place or tied to an object. Illusions add appearance but can't take it away, so a dagger can be made to look like a sword but not the other way around. Illusions don't have any physical presence so physical interaction will often reveal their nature.

Basic Spells: - Light: Create a source of light at a point you touch. The light may be emitted in all directions or only in the directions the caster chooses. - Darkness: Lower light in an area around a touched point or object. - Illusion: Create an intangible image either at a point or tied to an object you touch for the duration. The image may perform one simple action repeatedly for it's duration. For example an image of a globe may spin continuously, or an image of a guard may occasionally shift position. An existing illusion can be updated by the caster with an additional check, for example the guard illusion could be made to walk away from it's post. More complex or large illusions are harder to create. Advanced Spells: - Teach: A more advanced illusion that can react to circumstances and events ways set out by the caster. For example an illusion of a guard could be taught to fall over if struck in combat, although an assailant may well realise something is odd when their weapon passes through the illusion with no resistance.
