Illusion
Illusions aren't born in the usual sense, instead being formed from the thoughts and dreams of wizards. These illusions may continue to persist even after the wizard ceases using them, though most are fairly ephemeral and dissipate quickly. Illusions can be created to imitate a wide variety of materials, such as water, metals, vapor, or glass, and some can even change their composition at will. (Mistform Warchief) Illusions can have a wide range of abilities, including morph, flying, phasing, and shadow. Illusions are most often blue aligned and sometimes black aligned, but they can be of any color.

Famous quotes containing the word illusion:
“I hadn’t an illusion in my handbag
About the people being better there
Than those I left behind. I thought they weren’t.
I thought they couldn’t be. And yet they were.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It isn’t safe to sit in judgment upon another person’s illusion when you are not on the inside. While you are thinking it is a dream, he may be knowing it is a planet.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“He brushed away the thunder, then the clouds,
Then the colossal illusion of heaven. Yet still
The sky was blue.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
