Guard: You're the one casts those illusions. Impressive.
Me: What illusions are you talking about, mate? o.O

So, yeah, I didn't like how NPCs commented on my "illusions" even though the only illusion magic available didn't have actual "illusions". Illusion magic is supposed to be the art of controlling the mind, but I see no reason "summoning illusions" should not be a thing.

Here's my take on illusion spells. This plugin adds a set of summonable illusion spells.

Spells:
1. Fake Fire: Casts fake fire. People on fire will flee from combat for 10 seconds (because they think they're on fire).
2. Fake Fireball: Shoots a fire ball. Ranged version of Fake Fire.
3. Summon Illusion - Dog: Summons an illusion of a dog that will run away from enemies distracting them.
4. Summon Illusion - Orc: Summons an illusion of an Orc that will fight your enemies.
5. Summon Illusion - Sabre Cat: Summons an illusion of a Sabre Cat that will fight your enemies.
6. Summon Illusion - Dremora: Summons an illusion of a Dremora that will fight your enemies.
7. Summon Illusion - Dragon: Summons an illusion of a Dragon that will fight your enemies.

NEW! (v 1.3)
8. Summon Illusion - Spider: Summons an illusion of a Frostbite Spider. Enemies who touch the spider will flee in terror (fear cloak effect).


Illusions DO NOT deal damage (because they are... illusions...).
This spells are meant to distract enemies and keep them away from the player. They can't be used to kill enemies.

Where to get the spells
You can buy the spells from a mage, Irvil, around the area between Helgen and Riverwood (see pictures).
Or alternatively, you can kill him and take the books from him (although he will kick your back side if you're low level). Since Irvil is not marked as essential, he can also be killed by NPCs or Skyrim physics.
There is only 1 copy of each book, unless you use console commands.

Irvil has an schedule of his own. He will go to Riverwood Trader to get supplies on Morndas afternoon, to the Sleeping Giant Inn to have a drink on Middas evening, and to Dead's Man Drink in Falkreath on Fredas evening. The rest of the time he can be found practicing spells or studying around the area shown in the picture. 

You can also use Irvil's camp as a base if you need to. He wont mind :D
There's a bedroll and a knapsack you can safely use. Although it's quite a cold area.







Known issues:
1. If you summon a dragon illusion while not in combat, sometimes they start spinning and fly away.
However they work fine when in combat. Be sure to start combat before summoning dragon illusions.
This is not a mistake on my end but a bug feature within the game.

2. NPCs fleeing from combat will use normal "fear" dialogue ("I cannot best you", etc). I will fix this as soon as I figure how to make them use the "I'm on fire" line instead without altering other illusion spells.

DISCLAIMER & MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR
I made this plugin for myself, because I wanted to "cast illusions" as the guards kept telling me.
I'm not sure if it's well balanced, but it serves its purposes.
Of course, if you use enchanted gear and take every perk, well, you will have an easy time casting illusions for the guards :)
I tested it only with vanilla Skyrim SE and found no issues, again let me know if you find any conflicts or issues with other mods.

Leave your suggestions and advises in the comment section!


If you like the mod, please recommend it to your friends! ;)
If you didn't like it, then recommend it to your enemies! :D




Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
