Hmm, I suspect its not really as simple as this. There is Illusion
and there is Illusion. There is the Illusion of temporarily creating
a living breathing, eating cow, and there is the Illusion of telling
a lie. Humakt and Lhankor Mhy Truth magic seems geared towards the
latter types of Illusion. Humakt's Truth rune is not the Truth rune
of the Celestial Court, it is a diluted, more specialized power. As,
indeed, is his Death rune.
