| Glamour has one of the smaller spell lists in the game, dwarfing only [[Blood]] and [[Holy]]. If one counts cross-path spells, however, it also has more spells than Air. These spells are somewhat evenly split between the schools, too, though with a focus on [[Thaumaturgy]]. | Glamour has one of the smaller spell lists in the game, dwarfing only [[Blood]] and [[Holy]].

| {{:magic.png?nolink }} Glamour's damaging spells are mostly lies, and it's up to the casters to make them seem real. The only permanent thing [[False Damage]] can cause is death, through tricking the target's senses, though it cooperates with traditional damage to that end. | {{:misc:magicdmg.png?nolink }} Glamour's damaging spells are mostly lies, and it's up to the casters to make them seem real.

| Glamour counters Glamour in a rather dramatic fashion. One defending against a Glamour nation's assault may apply [[True Sight]], for instance, disrupting many of the enchantments that keep Glamour's foot soldiers untouched. Individual Glamour mages may have trouble handling each other, however, so the task of subduing an oppressive illusionist should fall to a mage of a different path. | Glamour counters Glamour in a rather dramatic fashion.

| {{:abilities:true_sight.png?32&nolink }} A Glamour Mage with {{path>G3}} or higher has Regeneration of sorts for False Damage, letting them burn off 1 point each combat round. This is presumably due to their higher understanding of the unreal.

| [[Illusion|Illusions]] only matter while a Glamour Mage is on their team, making their actions seem real. Illusions are not [[Magic Being|Magic Beings]]; they require Glamour levels, not just //any// (non-Death) magic level or [[Magic Leadership]]. Without Glamour levels on their side, they dissolve a few rounds after appearing. | [[Illusion|Illusions]] only matter while a Glamour Mage is on their team, making their actions seem real.
