Description:

Adds the Tome of Illusions, a Tier 2 mixed Astral-Shadow Tome. It requires 1 Astral & 1 Shadow Affinity to unlock, & gives the following immediately:

  • +1 Astral Affinity, +1 Shadow Affinity
  • Access to Arcane Tricksters, a Tier 2 Skirmisher with a basic repeating melee attack, Flanker, Slip-Away and "Minor Illusion", a 2-range, 1 turn cooldown, free-action with a 90% chance to inflict "Distracted".
  • Heroes get access to the Adept tier "Master Illusionist" skill, giving all non-Hero units in the stack "Universal Camouflage"

It also gives access to the following skills for research:

Name

Effect
Darkness
2
Fills all tiles in a 3-hex radius with obscuring darkness
Illusionary Assailants
3
Summons 5 Illusions in a 3-hex radius area. Illusions have 1 hit point, deal 1 spirit damage, and have a 100% chance to inflict Distracted on hit

Grants 1 unit +80% Evasion for 3 turns.
Mass Invisibility
3
Target that is leading an army gains Universal Camouflage for its entire army for 3 turns
Magical Mystery Tour
3
City Structure that gives +20 Stability, +20 Gold, & -20 Mana. Boosted by 1 Conduit + 1 Farm
Battlefield Theatrics
4
All friendly units gain +15 Morale, and lose 5 Morale every turn for 3 turns. All enemy units lose 15 Morale, and gain +5 Morale every turn for 3 turns. Does not work on units with Truesight

You may have noticed that Mass Invisibility is identical to the Tome of Cold Dark’s "Veil of Darkness", but lower tier. That is because I have changed Veil of Darkness to:

  • At the start of every battle, target enemy army has a 100% chance to be Blinded for 3 turns. This effect has a 1 turn duration on the strategic map.
