Awesome post #2, damn I'm on fire. Any criticism on it would be appreciated, and sorry about the impatience of Xavier demonification, but it hit me as soon as I really started thinking about illusions. Cassandra's end goal is to awaken the demon inside of him, so why not take advantage of some else's illusion magic, using a spell of amplification to make him see demon's and use it to exasperate Xavier's fear of Ira, as well as give him some nightmare fuel and confidence destruction to push him further still into the darkness. Hope that makes sense.
