As shards of rain slice into alleyways under the neon glow of the full moon, certain magical whispers are shared between ancients. Illumiquanti are gathering a quorum inside a salon inside a manor inside an illusion. You are intelligent, aware and all-watching. Without making a sound, you know the tides and seasons that are converging and how this will impact the paths. Your magic allows you to peer into others with a somewhat clinical irreverence. You are a researcher dissecting others, focused on learning. Your strength is in your ability to mastermind, lead and direct the revolution. Unknown to most, your core motivation is to steward the land towards harmony. The dark cloaks are all present now. The ritual begins.

From mysterious emptiness, the master of illusion appears to toy with your senses. The face shifting illumiquanti are generally encountered with two sets of eyes, making them extremely difficult to engage. They sometimes shift forward more or less pairs of eyes depending on how they are processing situations. Although they are not necessarily fearsome in stature, their illusory magic makes them misunderstood and therefore feared. It is hard for others to discern your ethical and moral foundations but, generally, you don’t care. In this form, you are mysterious at best and uncaringly manipulative at worst. You laugh in your creepy way, pondering the fragility of the feeble sheep.

Illusions may occur with any of the human senses, but optical illusions are the best-known and understood. The emphasis on visual illusions occurs because vision often dominates the other senses. For example, individuals watching a ventriloquist will perceive the voice is coming from the dummy since the mouth is seen moving. The term illusion refers to a specific form of sensory distortion. Unlike a hallucination, which is a distortion in the absence of a stimulus, an illusion describes a misinterpretation of a true sensation. For example, hearing voices regardless of the environment would be a hallucination, whereas hearing voices in the sound of running water would be an illusion.
