"Illusion Technique?" The Black Earl furrowed his brow slightly, offering no further comment. Personally, he didn't think illusion was a good idea.
Indeed, the concealing and ever-changing nature of illusion could serve as a reconnaissance vanguard.
However, when targeting creatures of the Material Realm, the effect of illusion is far greater than on energy beings. Moreover, illusion works much better on intelligent creatures than on non-intelligent ones.
Their current guess is that the Infant Spirits are intelligent beings. However, this is merely a conjecture.
In its most primitive state, the Infant Spirit is an undead, a soul filled with chaotic thoughts and only evil intent. In other words, it is both an energy being and a non-intelligent being.
In this case, the extent to which illusions can probe is limited. So, as seen by the Black Earl, illusion serves as a backup but is far from the optimal choice.
