While there are no Illusion spells that can deal damage directly, they can nevertheless be combined with other spells and weapons to devastating effect. Investing in the Illusion tree also allows for the game’s Illusion spells to have a broader range of uses, affecting more targets and adding additional play style options to confrontations throughout the game.
Players who want to rely on Skyim’s powerful Illusion magic will have little choice but to invest in its skill tree, otherwise, the effectiveness of the spells will not carry over into the mid-late game.
