Magician
So many tricks that you can even trick yourself!
The Magician
The Magician is a master of fooling others into believing their control of magic. You, however, throw this out the window and instead of only using Sleight of Hand to fool others, you instead also use actual magic to confuse your enemies. The main thing separating you from other spell casters is that instead of obviously throwing that fireball into the local bandit, YOU instead hide it under your charming personality and magic hat so that when you do unleash the fiery terror no one could ever have seen it coming.
