I’m about to play a gnome illusion wizard and I’m researching (high INT!) creative uses for illusions.
A classic is an illusory wall to hide behind as enemies run past or cannot aim to you. Or make the pit seem to be somewhere else so they fall in as they charge you. Or fake allies for distraction.
We’re playing Pathfinder 2e as 1st level characters. So technically that means the wizard has Figment (Ghost Sound), Illusory Object, and Prestidigitation at his disposal.
There are probably some cool illusion stories in this community?


Are you just listing the illusion spells you will have as you should have quite a bit more and its easy to get a few more than that as a gnome.
This is the full spellbook currently:
Arcane Prepared Spells DC 17, attack +7; 1st illusory object, command, dizzying colors; Cantrips (1st) daze, detect magic, figment, shield, telekinetic projectile, prestidigitation
Wizard Focus Spells DC 17, attack +7, 1 focus point; 1st charming push
