I can make you see, smell, hear, feel, and taste anything I want you too.

Illusionism is the gnosis gifted to the followers of Ionu which grants the ability to alter the perception of reality for multiple reasons and in multiple ways. Sometimes illusions are simply for decoration or in the name of art and beauty, other times illusions are used for nefarious or security purposes. Regardless of their intentions, the reality of illusionism is that the gnosis allows those who have access to it to progressively layer false perceptions upon false perceptions creation successfully more complex and realistic deceptions. And while at the one or two mark level, these illusions can be seemingly low impact, a highly intelligent person can do a considerable amount of damage in deceiving another's senses. Illusionists can easily conceal the smell of a poison, make someone think they are walking on a solid surface when in fact they are walking off the top of a cliff. At the higher levels these illusions can turn deadly - making someone think they are drowning in the middle of the desert or that they can fly when their feet never leave the ground. The mind is a tricky thing, relying on sensory input that aren't always accurate to make its decisions. Illusionists play up this weakness, often utilizing natural instincts and panic to achieve whatever results they are seeking..

Ionu is picky about his or her followers. Being something of a trickster God/dess (for no one truly knows Ion's sex), Ionu appriciates followers with at very least a sense of humor and a flare for the dramatic. It is highly unusual for someone to be allowed access to the Illusionism gnosis who has a sedate, boring, or somewhat contemplative introverted personality. Ionu loves bargains as well
