Darksmile

I may not have spent enough time talking about illusions, sometimes also called glamours. The objective is to create something that looks, sounds, smells, feels, or tastes like something else. Usually, that something is air, mist, or smoke.

And usually, the magic is willing to make things seem different; the trouble is that the magic and the magician usually have entirely different things in mind. For example, if a small spirit wants to appear as a larger spirit, that's usually a pretty easy thing to do.

And it fools normal senses. Use magical senses, such as normal dream sense, and the difference between real and glamour is like the difference between stone and sun. Or maybe that's not obvious if you live in a volcano. <1>

So when the big mouth of Darksmile came toward me, I struck with the Jaws of Wrath against the smaller spirit that was the actual entity. I missed, it bending and twisting, radiating [Enjoyment] at me, even as it bit at my elbow.
