The Illusionist fools perceptions and tricks the mind. Undoubtedly the most mischievous of the wizard classes, the illusionist can weave powerful psychic spells causing serious brain damage, while protecting his allies from such attacks. Powerful illusionists can even create huge monsters on the battlefield. So realistic are these apparitions that those they attack believe the attacks are real, and hence die.

Summary
The Illusionist doesn't have all that much going for it at low levels. They have low health, relatively low attack and don't have many abilities. Their Mind Shield protects against only a small number of psychic units, who besides Mind Rippers and Unholy Reavers, simply aren't that powerful or common. Their Mind Blast power does relatively little damage and can be resisted. They do have the benefit of being rather cheap, however. If they are leading a group of Mind Rippers they will also give it an efficiency bonus, and Mind Rippers also happen to be one of the most damaging units in the game.
At higher levels, the Illusionist becomes extremely powerful and could be a truly potent weapon. At lvl 20, it can create an extra 15 Dominions or 12 Titans for instance. This can be especially deadly at lower ranks and for catfishers where such a boost in net power could be a large percentage increase.
Low level Illusionists are only bought to lead Mind Ripper stacks, high level (16 or 17) Illusionists on the other hand command a very high price.
