Illusionist
-----------

* HIT POINTS: D6 per level. Add CON Bonus at 1st level only. 2pts/level 
              after 9th level.

* Attacks and Saves as Magic User.

* Only light armor and no shield (though armor is disdained by most
  illusionists).

* Weapons: dagger, staff, sling, small thrown weapons(knives, darts, 
           shuriken, boomerang, etc), plus one other weapon, such as 
           a longsword or spear for example(player's choice).

* Illusionists can fight Florentine Style with small/short weapons.

* Illusionists cast spells as MU's do, but there are strong somatic 
  components in most illusion spells. Spellcasters literally dance 
  as they weave and shape mystical forces. Most spells require 
  unrestrained movement.

* For Illusionists, the primary Ability which affects their castings
  is CHA (rather than PSY as with MU's). See MU notes about casting 
  spells.

* Illusionist spellbooks read like an amalgamation of artist sketches,
  musical notation, dance steps, wavy lines representing bodily move-
  ments, phonetics of vocalizations, geometric diagrams, and strange
  mathematical ciphers and sigils.

* Illusionists can research and brew magical potions, inks for scrolls, 
  etc. Once the ingredients are found, a potion usually takes D6 days 
  to brew.

* Illusionists get a bonus on rolls to disbelieve illusions not cast by
  them equal to their CHA bonus.

* Can sense invisible and out-of-phase opponents nearby at 7th level.

* Illusionists can counterspell other illusionists (see Magic-User 
  counterspell rules).

* Spells, scrolls, items, charms, etc, can be researched and created 
  as a magic-user does.

* Cantrips can be cast at any time and cost no spell points.

* Illusionists can use any magic item, wand/staff, scroll that a
  Magic-User can.

* Illusionists Detect Magic(and also Detect Illusion) and have a
  chance to identify magic items as a MU does.

* Many mediums can be used to hold and cast illusionist magic from -
  musical compositions, paintings, architecture, dance movements,
  equations, etc. 

* Tattoos can be drawn to hold wards and charms, as well as any other
  illusionist spell. The illusionist can have 1 tattoo per XP level
  and the same rules and CON drain apply as to Magic-Users. As far as
  is known, only Illusionists or Mages from the Rime Islands know the
  secret of creating these magical tattoos. 

* At level 1, Illusionists receive the ability of Darksight which 
  allows them to see 30 feet in the dark(their spellbooks are often
  written in ink that flouresces when seen with "Darksight").
  Underground elements which radiate in the ultraviolet spectrum
  can be seen at a distance of 60 feet.

* Illusionists originally hail from the Rime Islands far to the south.
  All have seamanship and boatwright skills. Illusionists will also
  have talent/training in one or more of The Arts (painting, sculpting,
  music, singing, acting, architecture, dance, carving, drawing, 
  calligraphy, poetry, etc. Characters will begin with 2 of these
  skills and add 1 skill at levels 6, 11, 16, and 21.
