So, illusions are . . . illusions!

Illusions are essentially sustained through belief. So, like, "I REALLY BELIEVE THERE IS A WALL HERE" and there will be a wall there.

+ The better you know something, the stronger and easier the illusion is to conjure! So illusioning your twin that you see every day would be easier than illusioning Uncle Bob that you only see every 2 years.

+ The stronger your will, the stronger the illusion is. This is mostly important when it bumps up against reality. IE, I am going to illusion this wall EVEN WHEN THERE WASN'T ONE BEFORE. So your will is basically overriding the reality that there was no wall there.

+ The willingness to believe (like, strongly believe in a deep seated way) things that aren't there and in yourself and your own reality makes a huge difference :|b Self delusion and delusion about the world helps ;D

+ On the flip side you also need to know exactly what IS your reality, otherwise the illusions can get away from you. And either dissolve or just become weird shit (like if your mind wanders too much) or you can just get lost in the reality/unreality crap.

+ Aather powercap tends to hit this pretty hard. So a major illusion can't be sustained for longer than 10 minutes, probably. A smaller one can't be maintained for much longer than 20min to an hour and a half. ETC ETC.

+ BECAUSE THEY ARE REBORN ILLUSIONS THEY CAN ALSO BE USED FOR LIKE. REAL THINGS. Like healing injuries temporarily or if you made a parachute to save someone who jumped off of a building and were a good enough illusionist . . . it would work. WE TRY TO NOT THINK ABOUT THAT TOO MUCH.
