Glamours and Phantasms

Addressed to: Everyone
We've released the twin specializations of Illusions today: Glamours and
Phantasms!
Glamours is a specialization available only to the Bardic archetype,
while Phantasms is available only for Mages. It is our hope that these
skillsets will be interesting and varied, and provide as much fun for
the players as we had testing them. This entails a few changes:
- All players with Illusions will notice they have lost this skillset
and have been granted the number of lessons they had invested into it.
Thus, you will have to re-learn Illusions and specialize into either
Glamours or Phantasms, or use the lessons elsewhere if you decide not to
take the new skillset.
- Sacraments and Jewelry have both lost their Transfix skills. This is
due to changes brought about by Glamours that makes these skills
overpowered. The Envoys have been working for some time on replacement
skills for these two skillsets, so please send any suggestions you have
to your guild envoy! We will replace these skills as soon as we have
good ideas for them.
- Sixthsense is now on a delay. This means that you will have to wait a
short period of time between eating faeleaf (or using the equivalent
psionics skill) and when you actually gain the defense. The reasons for
this will become more clear as you discover more about Glamours.
- Yes, Ialie, you could probably call Glamours Rainbowmancy if you
really wanted.
Credit for coding Phantasms goes to the amazing Fain, while I brought
you Glamours and the behind-the-scenes work that has quietly deprecated
the old Illusions.
Enjoy!
