"To be a wizard does not require magic. Only an interest in learning," Lillith explained, but she understood Stephanie did not think she wished to learn. So instead she chose to explain.

"I can disguise appearance with illusion magic, yes. But for those who know how to look at things, an illusion will reveal itself. It also does not change me, only what is seen. So if I brush against you with my tail, still you will feel it.
