| Skill | Prerequisites | SP Cost | Levels? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phantasmancy | TRACE Magick | 15 SP | None | You have pierced the veil between perception and reality. Your TRACE energy can now be woven into perfect copies of yourself, phantasms indistinguishable from the real thing. The art of the Trickster begins here. |
| (Upper Branch) | ||||
| Glass Shard | Phantasmancy | 6 SP | 3 | Your phantasms are not merely illusions, they are crystallized TRACE given form. When shattered, razor-sharp fragments tear into whoever struck the killing blow. |
| Misdirection | Glass Shard, Afterimage (Phantasmancy) | 6 SP | None | Weave a subtle enchantment into an enemy's perception. Their next attack will strike one of your phantasms instead of its intended target, and they won't realize it until the illusion shatters. |
| Refraction | Misdirection, Body Replacement | 8 SP | 3 | Light bends around you as you emerge from the space your phantasm once occupied. For a fleeting moment, your TRACE is supercharged, your next attack strikes with devastating clarity. |
| (Middle Branch) | ||||
| Afterimage (Phantasmancy) | Phantasmancy | 4 SP | 3 | Vanish in a blur of refracted light, reppearing elsewhere while a perfect copy of yourself lingers behind. Your enemies won't know you've moved intil it's too late. |
| Kaleidoscope | Afterimage (Phantasmancy) | 5 SP | 3 | Shatter your reflection across the battlefield. Multiple phantasm copies of yourself materialize on nearby tiles, identical in every way. Let your enemies guess which one bleeds. Effects: Spawn 2 phantasm clones on nearby tiles |
| Body Replacement | Kaleidoscope | 4 SP | None | (Priority) In an instant, you and your phantasm trade places. Your enemies strike empty air while you apepar behind them. Masters of this technique are never where you expect. Effects: Instantly swap positions with a phantasm clone. |
| (Lower Branch) | ||||
| Masquerade | Phantasmancy | 8 SP | None | Weave an illusion over your body, perfectly mimicking the appearance of a nearby person. Your face, your clothes, even the way you walk, all replaced by their reflection. The perfect disguise for the perfect deception. |
| Curtain Call | Masquerade, Afterimage (Phantasmancy) | 12 SP | None | The show isn't over until you say it is. When you would fall in battle, if a phantasm of yours still stands, you vanish in a flash of light, reappearing where your double stood, barely alive. The audience will never know which one was real. |
| Phantasmagoria | Curtain Call, Kaleidoscope | 8 SP | None | Reality fractures. A shimmering haze engulfs the battlefield as phantasm clones emerge from every shadow. Inside this domain, nothing is certain and you are everywhere at once. Effects: Creates obscuring haze for 3 turns and spawns 3 phantasm clones within |
| (Capstone Skill) | ||||
| Phantasmal Mastery | Body Replacement, Phantasmagoria, Refraction | 15 SP | 3 | You have transcended the boundary between self and shadow. Your phantasms persist longer, and your mind, honed by a thousand deceptions, operates on a level few can comprehend. You are the Grandmaster of Mirrors. |
