Illusionist

From NecroWiki

Description

The illusionist is a mage derivative for those adventurers who have a background in the healing arts of the cleric class. The healing abilities of the previous clerical class gives the illusionist a better understanding of the brain's internal structure, allowing him to manipulate it into seeing things differently than they actually exist. Like other mage classes, they are skilled in the arts of violent magic. They have a wide variety of offensive spells, but have trouble using any weapon with a long blade.
