Illusionism has always been seen as a weaker form of magic, a school to be ridiculed rather than studied by most self-respecting mages. However, this tome shall reveal that illusionism is neither to be scoffed at nor to be trifled with. In fact, illusionism can be quite potent in the hands of those who delve into its deepest secrets. At its roots illusionism deals with the age-old conundrum of perception versus reality, and it is this mystery that an illusionist bends his mind towards understanding. Illusionism- Behind the Smoke and Mirrors will bring the enigma of illusion to the fore and perhaps provide a new perception of the magic that so many underestimate and ignore.
At its heart, illusionism is the art of deception, be it benign or malicious in nature. It alters another's perceptions and tricks their senses. Those affected by illusions see, hear, smell, taste, and feel things that are not there. Some illusionists also explore the realm of shadow magic, which allows them to create quasi-real things to be seen, heard, smelt, tasted, and felt. It is hoped that this tome shall enlighten its readers in both the art of orthodox illusionism- that of figments, glamers, patterns, and phantasms- and the secrets of shadow magic, also known as unorthodox illusionism. |
