Illusion spells
Illusion deceives the senses: images, sounds, disguises and invisibility. Its spells reward creativity, and a creature that sees through one often isn’t fooled again.
28 illusion spells in the SRD, 1 of them cantrips; 13 need concentration and 4 can be cast as a ritual. In the 2014 rules, a School of Illusion wizard copies these into a spellbook for half the usual time and gold.
