What would you do with Illusions in the modern world?

If you personally had access to the power of Silent Image and Ghost Sound at will in real life, how would you utilize it?

i would run the best halloween house of horror in the land.

I could be a one-man animation studio, or maybe a few more as writing staff. Still, that's a lot of effort that doesn't need to be done for either animation or live actors. Just need to set up a camera pointing at a hanging white sheet, with some soundproofing in the room, and one could make a lot of movies and/or episodes very quickly. Special effects, ahoy!

I would give away my maps and minis.

make it big in entertainment.

Entertainment industry does seem like the best use for that sort of thing, from a civilian, honest-living standpoint.

As a casual thing, I'd also use it to aid in personal anecdote-sharing.

It'd be great for giving impromptu lectures or discussing floor plans or the like, too, given the mutability of it.

When I want to sing along with something, I might just use ghost sound so I hit the pitch-perfect notes and non-human sounds all together.

Harmless prank opportunities abound, too, with putting illusory items in plain view. Line empty PS5 shelves with illusory PS5s. ...okay, maybe not that one; people get crazy around that kind of thing, and that might not be so harmless.

On a personal security front, if you find yourself in an uncomfortable place where you're worried about being alone, giving yourself a large escort of tough guys could prevent problems.

This. Concerts would be insane! Combine with Control Sound and you don't even need expensive setup.

Personal artwork mostly, maybe do comms if there’s enough of a work flow for me to quit my day job. I don’t want the fame and public scrutiny that would come with overt use of the powers.


I may also produce the sound of the latest phone’s default ringtone in crowded public areas just to see how many people look.

Remember that Silent Image is concentration. So you could make bodyguards, but you have to be thinking about them the whole time. I wouldn’t give away my maps and minis either, unless you were prepared to concentrate on the map the entire game.

Might be pretty good for staging photos without digital tricks, though.
