Although I like the idea of this thread, I think it's a bit too much stating the obvious. What we need is more of like a description of each spell if it were to be done in a real-life situation. This way it would greatly help the fiction writers.
For instance:
Illusionary Weaponry:
The Victim watched in terrible fear and agony as he saw the blade cut through his flesh like a hot knife through butter. Sweat gleamed on his forehead and pain filled his entire being with dread as the Mesmer swung the blade again and again.
He blinked and all of a sudden all his wounds were gone as though he were untouched. The Mesmer looked up and smiled at him.
"The power of illusion," grimaced the Mesmer. "It was all in your mind."
"But it felt so real!" replied the Victim. "The blade! The blood! My flesh!"
"What? This old blade?" replied the Mesmer showing him the old dented and blunt sword that looked centuries old. "This couldn't cut through paper."
