Illusion Ability List

Explore v rising Illusion spells like Veil of Illusion, Mist Trance, and Mosquito. Learn about passives like Spiritual Infusion, Skinwalker, and Flowing Sorcery.

The Illusion category of spells in v rising are mostly themed around summoning, with the Gloomrot update helping them become a support caster. The new mechanics of Weaken and Phantasm offer players ways to reduce the damage targets deal, alongside the Phantasm granting ways for players to lower the cooldowns of their abilities. Going a full scholar build while using Illusion magic means you will become an incredible spellslinger, permanently resetting your cooldowns with Phantasm, and making sure enemies are permanently debuffed with Weaken to reduce damage. It’s incredibly handy for both PvE and PvP.

• Spiritual Infusion (passive): Deal 10% increased spell damage to Weakened enemies and increases the duration of Weaken by 1 second. Unlocked via the Stygian Altar. Cost 400 Stygian Shards.
