Illusionists twist light, sound, and even thought to create illusory effects. Some illusionists are delightful entertainers, while others are devilish tricksters.

Wizards

Wizards pursue magical power through the study of arcane texts. Some travel the world searching for esoteric tomes while others train lesser wizards or collaborate with colleagues to create new spells.

## Actions
 
***Multiattack.*** The illusionist makes two Arcane Burst attacks.

***Spellcasting.*** The illusionist casts one of the following spells, using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 13):
 
**At will:** [dancing lights](Mechanics/CLI/spells/dancing-lights-xphb.md), [mage hand](Mechanics/CLI/spells/mage-hand-xphb.md), [minor illusion](Mechanics/CLI/spells/minor-illusion-xphb.md)

## Bonus Actions
 
***Displacement (Recharge 5-6).*** The illusionist projects an illusion that makes the illusionist appear to be standing in a place a few inches from its actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against the illusionist. The effect lasts for 1 minute, and it ends early if the illusionist takes damage, if it is [incapacitated](Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Incapacitated), or if its speed becomes 0.
