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:
“The present age ... prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, fancy to reality, the appearance to the essence ... for in these days illusion only is sacred, truth profane.”
—Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872)
“An illusion which is a real experience is worth having.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Money itself isn’t lost or made, it’s simply transferred from one perception to another. This painting here. I bought it 10 years ago for 60 thousand dollars. I could sell it today for 600. The illusion has become real and the more real it becomes, the more desperately they want it.”
—Oliver Stone (b. 1946)
