@EurmalEye Yes. Basically the Masked Man is infusing his magic into the island and his minions such as Flowey. So certain enemies will be able to see through the illusions but not all of them.

@PharaohAtem Oh that's totally fine with me! So long as I can work in set parameters I am all good. I have a trick in mind that may not be effective on the masked man and the flower thing, but might work well on the students.

@The One Definitely way to far out to hear name, but like to him 'omg angels are real' and then profound confusion as to why one would go to school. There may also be some questions like "Hey would this action be morally correct or something that makes me go to hell?" lol

@EurmalEye Lol. That will be good. Her reasons to joining will be explained later in the Rp. But essentially she was sent by a higher power. Now considering she can access heaven's personal files on everyone you can probably guess who she was sent by. The only thing to work out is why.

No problem. The Maze if you remember correctly is also being manipulated by the Masked Man. So a lot of the creature there Leval will find difficult. If he gets the real Kitsune again which tries to lead him to Shela/safety then the Masked Man will show up and try to stop whoever the real version is helping.

@EurmalEye also when you really think about a lot of powers do give you the ability to see though illusions, life and or deth manipulation, aura based powers, angal and demon related powers, Psychic powers and a lot of different types of magic such as Voodoo, rune, and obviously other illusionist and a lot more types of magic. Unfortunately the effectiveness of illusions is largely based on how the illusion is made and how that influences the other characters mind and sometimes their body. For example narutos sharingan can create an illusion that is next to impossible to break free of alone and requires another character to help free them from it there are some exceptions to this but it is a very powerful illusion. Something you could do to improve the effectiveness of his powers for example there is perfect illusions that mimic life signs, illusion domain where Level infuses his magic into the area to increase the power and effectiveness of his magic so even if you don't have the ability to create perfect illusions you can create illusions that make his opponents want to believe there real even if they are illusions of their biggest fear you could force their brain/ heart to want to accept the illusion is real so even if they have the power or ability to see though or dispell illusions they would choose to accept they are real so those abilites wouldn't activate again there would be some exceptions like the masked man. Or you could even create an illusion that takes place in thier mind like a mental prison where level and his opponent would essentially fight each other using thier minds in a fictional would that leval could control or at the very least influence. There is also the possibility to use your illusions to hypnotize your opponent then you could either control them or havem them defeat themselves.

@EurmalEye there are other ways to make illusion magic stronger but those are the best in my opinion oh and i forgot to mention the illusion domain will use up a lot of magic/ stamina since your literary pouring a portion of your magic into the area like thr ground and the air constantly for as long as it stays activate in order to maintain the illusion domain.

@PharaohAtem Lol that's a lotta lecture, but I gotta tell you this ain't my first illusory rodeo and I have invested a lot of time, effort, and research into writing them. Also, Naruto special eyes may be least favorite example of illusions of all time. It is just very lazy. I love specificity when I write special abilities, because rules make a magic system far more believable. That is why Leval's abilities are always very grounded and have costs- magic has a cost on his energy and he takes a ton of damage in combat. I could have Leval pull a million extra abilities outta his butt like trapping them in a mental landscape or hypnotizing them but it would feel like power gaming and therefore less interesting. Natural progression is slower but more rewarding. Leval's is already fantastic at making illusions and overall mana control (that why its written as threads of mana to make a weave), his biggest weaknesses is just his low level of mana capacity which will improve over time and how the creatively he can use that mana control. As for the other powers, yeah in a high power setting like this for sure its easier, which is why I think a more subtle illusion in the middle of combat where everything is already distracting would have a much higher degree of working.

@EurmalEye yeah i kinda figured you would say something like that, i still remember when the one told you that you could have Leval physically manifest his making then real like Pozuzy does and you shot that down pretty fast to lol. However that's also why the Illusion domain would work so well for Leval, yes its a powerful ability and a high level technique but the only requirement to use it is that the character has a high level of magic/ mana control. Leval could still use his weaving technique to form his illusion while also weaving his magic into the air and ground around him to form his domain at the same time. The only problem would be the fact it would duble or even triple the mana cost of his illusion magic depending on how much magic he infused into the area. In orther words according to your own explanation he is already capable of creating a domain due to his mana control but doing so would put a huge strain on his already limited mana supply so it would be a last resort type of technique that he would likely only be able to maintain for a short time. But ultimately its up to you if you decide to use it i just kinda figured the domain Would be the best opinion based on Levals abilites and power level.

@DarkShadowWolf Lol I know! It was torturous yesterday with no post but damn were yall working hard! Right now I have completed Leval's entrance into the academy and his reaction to the teachers and other students performances as well as his own. I also have completed Cal's entrance. Spoiler: It is goofy! I can't wait till it comes to a situation where he is forced to use his abilities and all the sudden he goes from goofball to I can devour the souls of everyone in this building with a single bite. Just delightful.

Still to be done Levals reaction to Grace, Arken arriving on the battlefield, and post introductions to Manta who seems adorable and can use hand and talking to Shela. In addition a short and rude introduction for Wakefield.

I know! I tend to write out of order but it all comes together at the end!

@PharaohAtem Ugh fine you can have a spoiler :P Leval's secret tech are in my head named Field of Threads and Deception Made Real. Field of Threads works basically how you described illusory domain along with its incredibly high costs. Essentially the entire domain would be covered in his threads of magic to A) Conceal Leval in Magic in potentia for those trying to see through his illusion and B) Allow for quick casting. It is not something I imagine him doing for a while yet. Deception Made Real is essentially layering Leval in illusions of himself while he performs actions. So even though characters see the illusion covered Leval coming at him they will also note that the figure is illusory and giving all signs of being fake. So they will expect that figure to be the illusion and the real Leval is elsewhere. They expect an illusionist to hide not strike directly. And then while they are distracted looking for the "real" Leval, not so surprise strike. This works even better if paired with making a random patch of air invisible so there is something else to detect.

Also Leval is not above tasers and bear mace.

Lol that's pretty cool however what you just described isn't basically the same as an illusion domain, what you just described is an illusion domain and the abilites you just listed are all abilites associated with illusion domains. Any and every type of domain can take on many different forms depending on the power used to create it and the skills/ style of the user. In this case the domain would simply be modeled afer his magic threads, and realistically Leval has already shown he has enough skill to create the domain you described pretty much any time especially if one of the teachers taught him the technique to create domains.

@PharaohAtem The main issue is just the mana cost of Field of Threads at present. As for the domain, if it comes up naturally than I am not opposed.

Speaking of power-ups, acquiring magic items is something I am not at all opposed to! So if Kai ever feels like handing over that super cool earring... XD He is also definitely also going to talk to Lady Jane about acquiring some of those gems. Acquiring the ability to imbue his staff with elemental natures seems damn useful.

@EurmalEye Don't forget Manta. With all of his intelligence and psychic power he could easily create items from his psychic abilities to increase Leval's mind capacity and intelligence. Manta can also do a Mind Link allowing Leval to access some of Manta's intelligence and power (Assuming he befriends Manta) Then with his power over water he can grant Leval a water charm giving his illusions and his mana water properties/powers which is better than any gem since Manta is a water being/guardian.
