Description
Conceptually pretty simple: the spell makes a thing look like something it's not. Sarine, although proficient at casting it, doesn't think highly of the effect (even though it transforms her from looking like an elven knockout to a human knockout at one point), on the grounds that its use is too easy to detect, presumably via a Scan or something similar.
Where Used
This one gets lots of use, many of the characters having a good reason to temporarily look like something they're not. We first see it used by Sarna to keep her elven appearance secret from the smelly humans. (Note that Suzie penetrates the illusion without even consciously casting a spell, which is interesting.) Later it's cast by Bani in the flashback sequence that explains how she and Meji came to be friends. Sarine gets to use it again after the Melrin escapade, to lull bandit Jim into complacency and an ambush.
