Is a Magus Illusionist feasible?


Advice


I'm considering making a whip wielding magus illusionist. I think using Silent Image to make a mist you and your party can see through but you're opponents can't and striking from the shadows sounds like a cool style. The problem lies in concentration. Magi use their swift actions all the time so the Effortless Illusionist feat for gnomes can't help me and I don't really want to multiclass to wizard. Should I scrap this idea and just go full caster, stick to short duration higher level spells, or is there something I'm not thinking of?


The first person you should talk to is your GM, they will ultimately decide whether your illusions will be effective or not and how viable that character will be?

In theory you could do this same style as a Bard and they almost never need to use swift actions. You wouldn't even need to spend a feat on whip proficiency.

Just watch out about that part where whips deal no damage against enemies with natural armor bonuses, or however it goes.
