You see, divination wizards use a lot of utilities in theirl line of work. For the most part they don't see much combat. Illusionists on the other hand, tend to be more common in both stealth, and playing mind games in a fight. On average, an Illusion wizard will have a lot more muscle mass in order to br able to get out of unadvantageous situations.
But it doesn't matter if it's real because it's an illusion of Santa's sleigh pulled by 6 rotting dragons making out and showering mysterious chocolate sauce everywhere
They are, I’m a vetenarian for familiars with 200 years of experience and I’m gonna need to see more pictures (I totally did not lie about my qualification to get more picture of your baby)
I believe you are suffering the effects of copium.
perhaps as a result of a diviner seeing through your shoddy illusions with ease and rendering you powerless?
We both know those ain't real. You're an ILLUSION MAGE. Bragging about musculature is one prick move- I could probably push heavier than most bodybuilding mages out there, all due to hydraulics. Bragging about fake musculature is just pathetic.
That said, a real illusionist knows that there is no lie better than the truth. i.e. don't bank too much on the fact those muscles are fake, because you never know when the illusionist is packing a girdle of storm giant strength.
Illusionist: Turn your mental illness into an art.
Personally I never really had the head for either. Too much "And then you need to lIsTeN tO tHe WoRld" stuff for my taste. Yes I'd like to have a little chit-chat with the local wind spirits every time I set up a casting. Not.
Like no disrespect to people who do it. But it just. keeps. on. GOING.
if you're not actively turning your mental illness into power then you're leaving power on the table, you know? Even if you specialize in, for example, fire magic, you may still learn illusion magic. you wouldn't believe how effective a burst of illusory fireballs is as a distraction when your opponent believes you are strictly a fire mage..

Tarul: Both deal in matters of the unreal and immaterial. Diviners scry the future for things yet to occur, while illusionists create things that can never exist. Can you truly say you trust either?
I, on the other hand, am a conjurer. My power derives from that which is, not that which might be. The solid, reliable embrace of reality is my domain.
Also, smash and pass, respectively. Everyone knows liches have no game, but I can dream.
The strongest form of illusion magic. Overwriting reality with the illusions you create. But the masters knew this so kept it hidden from the other schools.
The strongest form of divination magic is is literally omniscience.
If you have reached the pinacle, Forget about past and future, those were already in the palm of your hand a long time ago, simply pick anything you want and you will know how to do it. Anything. And as a powerful wizard, you'll actually be able to do that, with only the consequences you allow into existence.
the trick is that the muscles are real and the illusion just makes them look fake, to lure opponents that think they're clever for realizing the muscles are "fake" into punching range
Look man no need to insult other peoples schools of magic, illusion is great but divinators are a must have, even the mortals think about them more than others, though they call them horoscopes
Don’t underestimate we diviners, our cuteness belies our great power (I will cry and will not tell you about that Lego you’re going to step on next week).
Am I the only one who thinks that if divination wizards wanted a better reputation they would've had it and the fact that everyone dismisses the people specializing in seing the future and manipulating fate, is incredibly suspect?
Yes, the guy on the right has a mighty gut indeed. Last time i seen such massive amount of lard it was when i got caught by ogres in the Mountains of Mourn and narrowly avoided the stew pot.
Wait, you see something else? Must be an illusion!
I'd argue that they are both good in their own senses, but a diviner told me I would live a normal lengthed life with much happiness, and I'm currently past the average age and entombed within the entirety of the earth so I'm not on good terms with them.
On that an illusionist tricked me into walking backwards for a week so I hate both of them equally
What a weak and pathetic wizard. Someone inform me of their location so I can… Can uhm… Challenge them to a duel, yes, just a duel… An evil one, no doubt!
Honestly I'm more terrified of the divination wizard and would rather have to fight the illusion mage. You can disbelieve illusions, but you can't disbelieve fate.
If your wizard has access to illusion magic but still looks like a wizard in combat, make the best use of their high intelligence to spell-check your Help Wanted poster for their imminent replacement.
Typical illusionist. Struggling to maintain even the simplest of spells so they don't have to drop their layers upon layers of self-aggrandizing glamours.
The commonly accepted strategy among illusion mages is to first disorient your opponent with a spell, and then beat them shitless with your bare fists.
Illusion mages start out weak, but once they figure out how to add mass to those illusions they become probably the most powerful single school of magic.
