[attr="class","spellbody"]PARANOIA GRIMOIRE: MUTINY[break]Paranoia, and the various spells that it contains, is a well-known illusionist handbook detailing illusions of the mind. This first spell directs environmental mana into a short-range, hard-to-detect, invisible mist that cannot be dispelled. Witches, humans, and other highly-intelligent creatures caught in the mist will become distrustful of each other, resulting in various effects from doubts, to inciting arguments, to totally turning on each other. Works best on already mistrustful individuals. The mist cannot be selectively applied or blocked, but the spell's effects are constrained to a specific area.

[attr="class","spellbody"]ILLUSIONIST'S HANDBOOK: RECOLOR[break]Written by the first-ever self-proclaimed illusionist, Gilderoy Varis, this scroll contains the simple knowledge that enables the witch to make minor modifications to their appearance. This could include changing their hair color, eye color, outfit, etc. but would not enable the witch to change, for example, their physique, height, or overall structure in a convincing manner.

[attr="class","spellbody"] ART OF WAR - INTIMIDATION[break]A grimoire written by a military witch who asserts the best way to conquer the enemy is to attack their strategy. A classic illusion spell, Intimidation allows the caster to give themselves an aura of intimidation and project dread. May may attacks used against the witch weaker. When used by masters, however, this spell reaches its full potential and activates the death instinct in the mind of an attacker, causing witches to instinctively fail their attacks or spells out of a genuine fear of death.

[attr="class","spellbody"] ART OF WAR - AMNESIA[break]A grimoire written by a military witch who asserts the best way to conquer the enemy is to attack their strategy. This illusion causes a witch to forget or misremember a spell they are casting -- works best when the illusionist has a good idea of what spell they might cast/their opponent's skillset. Beginner witches may manage to have their target fumble for a small window of distraction, while masters of the art may cause them to temporarily forget a spell for longer duration.

[attr="class","spellbody"] TRICK SWORD - ABSENCE[break]Cast in close range, this spell allows the witch to use environmental mana to render any inorganic object temporarily invisible and undetectable by magical means. Range, duration, and number of items that can be hidden at once increase with the rank of the witch.

[attr="class","spellbody"] SHADOW HOPPER[break]A witch can sink into a shadow with this spell and travel a short distance within the same shadow before popping up. Darker, non-magical shadows work best -- traveling inside magical shadows can be much more disorienting for the caster.

[attr="class","spellbody"] SHADOW SPIDER SWARM[break]Using this spell creates a swarm of small shadow spiders which home in on a target and latch themselves onto them en masse. Not only do the spiders impede movement and potentially vision also, the feeling of thousands of spiders crawling on one's skin has been described as 'rather unnerving' at best. The amount of spiders able to be created, and the range with which they can track a target, depends on the skill and experience of the witch - initiates often find their spiders dissipating or losing focus after about a meter's radius, whereas masters of this technique have been said to create multiple swarms of spiders that target multiple witches over a truly terrifying distance.

[attr="class","spellbody"] STRIKING SHADOW[break]A witch creates a sharp, blade like shadow from the arm or foot that strikes out quickly before vanishing just as quickly almost like an assassins hidden blade. The stronger the witch the faster and sharper the shadow.

[attr="class","spellimgcont"]

[attr="class","spellbody"] CONSUMING FLAME[break]This spell creates what looks like black flames, except they must absorb the heat energy of another fire or fire-based magic in order to burn. The black flames essentially eat any existing fire around it to keep themselves going making it perfect to put out fires. The flames themselves are warm but not hot and will not cause burns. Powerful flame spells cast by stronger witches can 'tip over' the amount of heat these consuming flames can handle, making it often a battle of control between elementalists....

[attr="class","spellbody"] SHADOWHOUND GRIMOIRE - MARK[break]By touching an object's shadow, a witch can "affix" the shadow, marking it and gaining an innate sense of where the object is located. The marked object's shadow becomes literally "fixed," not moving despite light, and can be noticed by a keen observer that it is being tracked. The range of the tracking depend of the rank of the witch, and the familiar must be maintained throughout the spell's duration.

[attr="class","spellbody"] SHADOWHOUND GRIMOIRE - REAPER CHAINS[break]Pre-req: SHADOWHOUND GRIMOIRE: MARK. If a target has been marked by SHADOWHOUND GRIMOIRE: MARK, the witch can bind them to place using chains constructed from the target's shadow if they are in line of sight. The chains are extremely durable, and can only be vanquished by light magic. As a witch grows more powerful, the chains are capable of complex movement restriction—not just the legs, but arms or even the head.

[attr="class","spellbody"] SHADELING'S SCROLL OFFENSIVE/DEFENSIVE VARIANT[break]With this spell, witches can coat themselves in a blanket of darkness. The spell's coating makes the caster harder to recognize as their features are blacked out into a silhouette. In exchange for dulling most of their senses and rendering themselves nearly-blind and deaf, the user gains a sharp uptick in speed and strength / sharp uptick in their defensive abilities against physical-contact-based attacks. If both variants are applied, the sensory dullness becomes worse.

[attr="class","spellbody"] NIGHT VISION[break]A witch can see even in total darkness. While in darkness the witch's vision is not as sharp as during the day and everything is in shades of black, white, or gray.

[attr="class","spellimgcont"]

[attr="class","spellbody"] ADVANCED: SOLAR ECLIPSE[break]The witch creates a large sphere of darkness that blocks out all natural light within it, dimming even magical sources of light. While within the sphere, illusion spells receive a bonus in accuracy and power while light-based spells receive a demerit in both areas. All witches inside the spell are equally blinded by the lack of light without the appropriate items, skills or spells.
