| Specialisation | Magic |
| Perks | 13 |
| Perk Points To Fill | 13 |
| Governing Stone | The Mage Stone |
| Direct Damage | None |
Illusion is the school of the mind in Skyrim. No Illusion spell does direct damage; every one of them changes how a target perceives the world.
Effects
- Pacify removes the will to fight unless the target is attacked first.
- Fear makes a target flee.
- Frenzy makes a target attack anyone nearby, including its allies.
- Invisibility and Muffle hide you rather than affecting anyone else.
The Stealth Mage's School
Illusion is the school that makes a stealth character viable as a caster. Muffle and Invisibility pair directly with Sneak, and Frenzy will clear a room without you drawing a weapon.
It is also the only tree that costs exactly one point per perk: thirteen perks, thirteen points, with no multi-rank entries.
Main Effects
None of these deal damage directly.
| Effect | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pacify | Target stops fighting |
| Fear | Target flees |
| Frenzy | Target attacks everyone |
| Invisibility | Hides you |
| Muffle | Silences your movement |
