Hi all
What does the Thief skill 'Detect Illusion' actually do?
Many thanks

It does sort of what the name implies: it let's you see past illusionspells like Mirror Image and the like. The drawback is that you activate the ability with the 'detect trap' button. That means your thief will stand there detecting illusions while your party is being attacked by an enemy mage (after all, that's the only situation in which you'll use this ability). It's not the most useful thiefskill.

Dispell illusions, like invisibilty, mirror image, etc. It's basically a thieves' version of True Sight, with the advantage that Spell Immunity: Divination does not protect mages from the thieves' dispell illusions.
