Trick Types

All tricks fit in the following categories:

  • Delusion: tricks that gather information purely from context
  • Ingress: tricks that gather information based on input
  • Distortion: fixed-input pure tricks
  • Stratagem: variable-input pure tricks
  • Ploy: world-manipulating and/or mana-consuming tricks
  • Deviation: tricks which modify the state of the spell itself
  • Revision: scribing patterns

    • These categories are roughly followed, but in many cases, tricks will be sorted based more on intention than rigid definition.
