Most villains (and the occasional hero, but this is largely a villain power), if given the chance, will employ magic or mechanisms to confuse their enemies and render them vulnerable, but a Master of Illusion will go beyond merely using such trickery as a tool. Instead, they will hone it into a fine art form; milking it for as much trickery, espionage, and/or personal pleasure as they can derive from it.
Such powers are usually psychic in origin, although they can also be technological as well, creating Holograms which can be especially dangerous when they can make them solid (holograms also carry the bonus of being able to fool electronic surveillance). Despite lacking obvious means of attack like with Pyrokinesis and Telekinesis, they can use a Faux Flame to burn, though resolute heroes may resist, or making a gaping hole seem like an even floor. A common variant is for the Master of Illusion to trap the hero in a virtual reality simulation over which the villain has complete control. Of course, death or injury in the simulation will usually mean death or injury in real life, so any hero thus ensnared will have to be careful. Most Masters of Illusion aren't content to just let their VR deathtrap program play out by itself — what would be the fun in that after all? So they'll frequently appear in the simulation, usually as a cackling, monstrous tormentor who plays cat and mouse games with the hero and who mocks their every step. If the Master of Illusion traps a hero in a Lotus-Eater Machine, or in a simulation of their ordinary, everyday life, they'll frequently appear as an ally of the hero, using this form to distract the hero from discovering their true whereabouts, or as part of a ruse to trick the hero into revealing some important confidential information.
In more insidious cases, the Master of Illusion will appear to the hero as a romantic interest, either one the hero knows, or one that's been created whole cloth out of the hero's own memories and desires. This gives the Master of Illusion the chance to screw with the hero's mind (and body, depending on how far the writers let things go).
Masters of Illusion really needn't bother with such elaborate setups. It would be easy enough, after all, to trick an enemy into killing himself: use some variant of the "This Is Not a Floor" trick; destroy a spaceship by having its crewmembers press the wrong buttons and steer it into the nearest star; kill the heroes by having them confuse each other for enemies and fatally attack each other... But again, what would be the fun in doing something as simple as that? Masters of Illusion, having Trickster personalities by the very nature of their powers, will usually not be able to resist playing with their prey. Of course, this could — and usually does — give the heroes the time and/or chance to think up a way to counter the Master of Illusion's powers, or leave clues that they are in an illusion in the first place, such as a Blank Book. Once the villain is destroyed, the world they create usually dissolves into nothingness - provided the defeat or death of the Master of Illusion wasn't part of the illusion itself...
And really, as a hero... how would you know? Could you ever really be sure that you defeated the Master of Illusion and escaped? Why is Schrödinger's Butterfly flapping nearby?
(Cue an echoing "Mwahahahahaha".)
Interestingly, the Master of Illusion will very rarely turn out to be the Big Bad — this is because they're far less interested in ruling people than they are in just screwing with them. For some reason, the Big Bad who employs a Master of Illusion never worries that he himself might be enthralled or under their control. (Although if he were, would the Master of Illusion allow him to experience any doubts?) Also, while the Master of Illusion is usually villainous, heroic examples are hardly unknown. If the Master of Illusion is the Big Bad, their power over illusions may become borderline Reality Warping. Indeed, it might actually be their goal to "upgrade" from faking control of reality to actual control.
On that note, sometimes even a "mundane" Master of Illusion will be able to make their projections "solid" or "real" in some sense, which as noted effectively makes them the budget version of the Reality Warper. These abilities will usually come with limitations however, most often No Ontological Inertia for the created constructs, a greater fragility than the constructs realistically would have (to physical force or especially disbelief), and/or some limits on what can be made real — belief might make a sword wound or a Faux Flame Fireball as deadly as they seem, but unless you're in a cartoon world, forget about an illusory bridge fooling gravity or a tunnel overcoming the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
Note: This trope doesn't apply to villains who occasionally employ illusory tricks to ensnare enemies. The Master of Illusion is a specialist in generating manipulative hallucinations, and will usually possess no other powers apart from that. (Although when you have the ability to trick the Mighty Glacier into thinking that his 6-foot-long claymore is a flyswatter and that a poisonous mosquito has just landed on the back of his buddy's neck, who needs other powers?)
See also Lotus-Eater Machine, Masquerade, The Treachery of Images, I Know What You Fear, Cold Flames and Shapeshifting Seducer. Compare Glamour. Not to be confused with Mickey Mouse's games, or the thirteenth Pokémon movie, even if the main Pokémon is herself an example of this trope.
For the other type of Master of Illusions, the folks who perform to entertain audiences, see Stage Magician (though it's not at all rare for the two tropes to overlap).

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, the Scarecrow uses hallucinogenic gas on Batman to play with his mind. Since this is a video game, this causes Batman to enter a Mental World populated by skeleton enemies where Scarecrow is fifty feet tall. If you lose in combat during these levels, Batman goes insane. (And when you defeat the giant Scarecrow in the final one, Batman breaks through the illusion and beats Scarecrow senseless).

Logan's Run: In "The Collectors", the Kasorlans use a device called a memory pulse to turn Logan and Jessica's thoughts into reality as part of their plan to capture two human specimens to return to their planet. Almost as soon as Jessica expresses the hope that Sanctuary will be over the next hill, they find it. She later asks after her friend Martin, a Runner who left the City of Domes four years earlier, and he immediately enters the room. Jessica accepts it at face value but Logan is suspicious as everything is exactly how they imagined it would be. The Kasorlans attempt to fool Rem using images of Logan and Jessica but it does not work as his sensory equipment is able to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Loki from The Mighty Thor, as one would expect from the God of Mischief. This is better showcased following his Heel–Face Turn in recent years, in particular in Loki: Agent of Asgard. He's so good at this that he's able to escape an inescapable prison cell during an interrogation, put his interrogator in said cell, and escape before anyone's none the wiser. Technically young comicbook Loki is an incredibly powerful Reality Warper but thanks to the side-effects of his magic (runs on story logic, prone butterfly effects etc.) tends to prefer less invasive methods of manipulation like illusions or technomancy.

Neko of K has this as her major power as a Strain. To be precise, she is capable of manipulating people's senses to a massive extent; she doesn't actually turn into a cat for example and yet somehow her illusion powers lets her pull this off. Said manipulation of senses extents to manipulating memories.

X-Men:
Jason "Mastermind" Wyngarde. Two of his three daughters are even better at it, being able to reinforce their illusions via telepathy (the third has different powers, which include inducing hallucinations but decidedly do not qualify for this trope since the hallucinations are completely random).
The only heroic mutant character with this power is Danielle Moonstar, formerly of the New Mutants. By using her illusion power in conjunction with her basic telepathy, she can cast images based on someone's greatest fears or desires. Or both.

Bleach: Sosuke Aizen's illusions are so powerful than anyone who sees him release his Zanpakut� even once falls prey to them ever after. There's no sure-fire way to tell if the illusions are fake or real unless you can gain excellent knowledge of the subject the illusion is covering. His Zanpakut� fits his personality perfectly, as Aizen is the creepy, mysterious, manipulative Big Bad. He also consistently shows us that illusions are not a 'soft' power. There is only one known immunity to falling under the spell: being blind. The only way to escape the power once ensnared is to touch the blade before the illusions can be activated (good luck trying to work out if the illusions are already active, however). It takes decades for Gin to learn this tidbit and even then he has to wait decades more for a moment when he's absolutely certain Aizen isn't using his power before he touches the blade. Yamamoto did work out for himself that there was a relationship between the blade and the power, as he realized having the sword buried in his gut enabled him to work out the exact location of Aizen's reiatsu.
In the final arc, it's shown that not even the virtually nigh omnipotent Yhwach is immune to Aizen's illusions. In fact, given that Yhwach's "The Almighty" power is triggered by sight, it's possible that he's even more vulnerable than other characters would be. While Yhwach can see all possible futures and alter them, it would seem that Aizen's illusions cause him to see and attempt to alter illusory futures instead of real ones.

The Silmarillion not only contains a rare heroic male example of this trope in Finrod Felagund but also features an illusion-magic duel! Finrod is using an illusion to try and sneak through Sauron's base of Tol-in-Gaurhoth. However, as he fails to report to the orc captain, he is apprehended and brought before Sauron. Sauron realizes that he's not an orc, and so attempts to strip off the illusion. Finrod puts up a good fight, but loses in the end. Of course, neither Finrod nor Sauron use illusion-magic exclusively.

The Lunaverse version of Trixie falls somewhat under this trope, despite being the Element Of Magic. This may have something to do with her cutie mark being about doing magic for others, and especially for others' entertainment. She's even better with stage magic (sleight of hoof without any actual quintessence manipulation) than she is with "real magic". Incidentally, this really backfires when she runs into the Lunaverse version of Twilight, who cannot believe that the Element of Magic could be an illusionist.

Taken: The aliens have the ability to read a person's mind and create images from their thoughts, memories and imagination:
In "Beyond the Sky", the scientists studying the bodies found at the Roswell crashsite determine that they are capable of perfect mimicry on a cellular level as their cells display whatever properties the scientists think that they might have at any given moment. They receive a more extensive demonstration of this power when one of the seemingly dead aliens turns out to be alive and convinces them that Dr. Goldin is a 13-year-old boy undergoing his Bar Mitzvah.
In "Jacob and Jesse", the aliens create an image of the title character of the children's book The Adventures of Artemis P. Fonswick to lure the seven-year-old Jesse onto one of their ships. Five years later in 1958, he sees the same image just before they abduct him once again.
In both "High Hopes" and "Maintenance", immediately before he is abducted, Jesse sees an image of the creepy carny that frightened him during a trip to the carnival when he was eight years old. In "Charlie and Lisa", both Jesse's son Charlie and Lisa see the same image as a prelude to abduction.
In "Maintenance", the aliens create an image of Jesse from Charlie's memories in order to lure him to Morgan's Junction, Missouri so they can abduct him.
In "God's Equation", Allie demonstrates that she possesses the same ability but she uses it for a kinder purpose than abduction. She creates an image of Dale Watson's late son Luke, who was killed in The Gulf War, to let him know that Luke forgave him for the big argument that they had before he shipped out.
In "John", Allie disguises herself as General Beers so that she, Charlie and Lisa can escape from the military.

A heroic example is Mako Urashima, the heroine of the old shoujo manga Mahou no Mako-chan, which is heavily based on The Little Mermaid (1989). Thanks to a sapphire pendant given to her by her father, the King of the Sea, after becoming an Ordinary High-School Student Mako can use mermaid magic to cast diverse illusions.

The Mesmer class of Guild Wars boils this trope down into a spellcaster profession, with illusion (in addition to domination and inspiration) magic as one of their primary attributes. This applies even more to the Mesmer in Guild Wars 2, where they are able to conjure up a small army of illusory doubles of themselves and can are also capable of rendering themselves and their allies invisible.

Cadence Morello, one of the six main characters in Six Chances, has the ability to transmute illusions via touch. Her abilities range from making her appear as if she is a different person to changing a cigarette into a flower. She often uses it for less heroic purposes. The web novel can be read here [2].

Heroes:
Company agent Candice Willmer, using her power of illusion to impersonate Simone Deveaux (to keep the NYPD from arresting precog Isaac Mendez), Sandra Bennet (as part of a sting to catch HRG betraying the Company), Niki Sanders (to kidnap technopathic kid genius Micah Sanders), and Niki's Superpowered Evil Side Jessica (to keep Niki from taking Micah back). To keep Micah from escaping, she cast an illusion that made every door and hallway lead back to the room he just left. She also created a simulation of a Maui beach inside a rundown shack in the middle of a Central American jungle and tried to seduce Sylar into working for the Company by offering to make all his fantasies come true (assuming said fantasies included a geisha; blonde, athletic twin women, and even himself).
Later in Volume Two, we are introduced to Matt Parkman's evil father Maury, who has learned how to use his Telepathy to project illusions into people's minds.
Matt Parkman himself! Not only can he create illusions, he can also force them into thinking what he wants is exactly what they want with Mind Control.

Batman: Arkham Series:
In Batman: Arkham Asylum, the Scarecrow uses hallucinogenic gas on Batman to play with his mind. Since this is a video game, this causes Batman to enter a Mental World populated by skeleton enemies where Scarecrow is fifty feet tall. If you lose in combat during these levels, Batman goes insane. (And when you defeat the giant Scarecrow in the final one, Batman breaks through the illusion and beats Scarecrow senseless).
In Batman: Arkham City, drugs are used to similar effect. In the ritualized fight against Ra's al Ghul Batman uses his cape and grapple gun to fly through air courses and then does battle with ninja sand clones and a giant spell-slinging sand ninja. When Batman is abducted by The Hatter he fights rabbits on a giant watch in an Amazing Technicolor Battlefield.

In Naruto many characters can create illusions (a sensible ability for some ninja’s), known as genjutsu ("illusion techniques"). Notably, while some are the standard 'hologram'-style type of illusion, others (such as what the Uchihas and Tayuya typically use) involve 'hacking' the target's central nervous system and making them see, hear, and feel what the caster wants them to.
The undisputed master is Aloof Big Brother Itachi Uchiha, who forced his little brother Sasuke to relive the deaths of their family at his hands over and over, on two separate occasions. Most people affected by his illusions become mentally scarred. It's even mentioned long after his death that Sasuke's illusion techniques still can't compare to Itachi's. An important thing to note is that Itachi doesn't solely rely on his Sharingan to cast illusions, making the whole "don't look in his eyes" plan a lot less useful. One of Itachi's most memetic lines is "You're already under my genjutsu", which reflects his tendency to win fights via illusions before the fight even starts.
This ultimately leads to a bizarre battle when two of these, Sasuke and Itachi, both used an illusion to make the other think they won—which is followed up with more illusions within the first illusions. And more within THOSE! If there was ever a fight scene that could be accurately described using the phrase Mind Screw, this would be it. They don't even move until a few chapters after the battle starts! It's all illusions! This is probably why genjutsu isn't used that much by protagonists; if it's used by more than one side, it gets real confusing and old, real fast.
It was later revealed that Tobi, the Big Bad of the series, and Danzo can make their subjective reality an illusion using the power of the Sharingan and Hashirama Cells. Just one of many insanely powerful and unbalanced techniques those supernatural eyes make possible. The typical usage of it is to rewrite reality and erase fatal injuries that've been inflicted on them. The downside to this technique is that normally it can only be used twice, since the eye used to activate it will be permanently blinded afterward; thus it being a desperation move rather than an automatic "I win" button. Tobi gets around this by having a collection of preserved Sharingans that he harvested in the Uchiha Massacre, so that if he's ever pushed far enough to resort to this technique he can get an eye transplant to bring him back to full strength. And Danzo has the infamous "Sharingarm", an artificial right arm with ten Sharingan eyes implanted in it.
This, in turn, is revealed to be a downgraded version of the Sage of Six Paths' power. He had the ability to make illusions become real and used this power to create the nine Tailed Beasts.
The 2nd Mizukage has also been revealed to be a Master of Illusion in his fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces. After his clam creates mirages (which are a type of illusion that is specifically not the same thing as genjutsu and don't operate on the same principles as genjutsu, meaning that the normal ways for a character to break or escape from a genjutsu don't work) he tries to offer advice on how to defeat them, with hilarious results.

RWBY:
Neo has the ability "Overactive Imagination", which allow her to create physical illusions that shatter like glass on contact, in addition to disguising the appearence of herself and other objects (up to and including things as large as an airship). She's skilled enough with the power that she's able to fight Cinder using her illusions as makeshift clones.
Emerald has the straightforwardly titled "Hallucinations". Unlike Neo's ability, her illusions can only affect the person she is focusing on, though she can affect a small group of people at once if she really pushes herself. However, she can make her target see and hear whatever she wants, including making people entirely invisible or look like they're attacking when they're not, though she has to be aware of every little thing she's making them see. An ambush gets ruined because Emerald accidentally let their target see the dust from her footsteps, even though Emerald herself was invisible.

The rather different version of the Duke of Deception in The Legend of Wonder Woman still possesses this power, but uses it to make his victims feel despair and see death and horror surrounding them.

The Dresden Files:
Lasciel from is one of these, but mainly just to Harry. When she first came out to play, she had Harry believing she was a bookstore employee, and even decked out an entire run-down tenement to look like comfortable housing to forward the illusion. This made Harry look somewhat delusional to everyone else as he talked to the woman that wasn't there. When Harry calls her on it, she shows how nasty she can get by triggering a curtain of fire, forcing Harry to go running for the fire escape... which doesn't exist, and would've resulted in him falling to his death if he hadn't hesitated.
Harry's apprentice, Molly, is also very skilled at illusion. While she's not good at physical magic, veils are second nature of her, and in time, she learns to use the combat applicability of bringing the sound and lights of a rave straight to a battlefield. In Ghost Story, Molly has found numerous ways to use small illusions to get people to fight each other, such as making a dirty cop think that the man bribing him is reaching for a gun.

Yami Yugi in the earlier parts of the manga and season 0 of Yu-Gi-Oh!, had this as his trademark: he would challenge, cajole, or trick villains into playing a game with him, and when they lost, would inflict a "penalty game" punishment in the form of a vivid, symbolically-appropriate hallucination, often one that reveals the villain's root sin and/or turns it against them, for example, causing a greedy extortionist bully to go insane and roll around in a pile of leaves and garbage laughing with glee, convinced that he's rolling in a pile of 10,000 yen notes. Or causing an exploitative documentary filmmaker who distorts the truth to get high ratings to see the entire world censored with heavy pixelation.
Titan in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX initially employs this to make people think he holds a Millennium Item. The trick is foiled when the protagonists realize that different people see different things (Hayato sees one arm vanished from Judai and Sho sees the other arm, for example), and the trick is broken.

Static Shock:
The West African hero Anansi the Spider has the power of storytelling, granted to him by the sky god Nyame; this tends to manifest itself as the ability to project illusions. He can also walk on walls for some reason too, although that could just be another illusion!
Another, slightly more villainous example: Mirage, Boom's kid sister, also has the power to create illusions. Unlike Anansi, she received her powers from the Big Bang that gave all of the other show's metahumans their superpowers. Slightly villainous because her heart's not in it at all, and there's something Woobieish about the way she always holds her arms across her chest as if she were cold.

The Lando Calrissian Adventures: Rokur Gepta, the last Sorcerer of Tund. For example, he has a You Have Failed Me moment quite a bit like Darth Vader's in Episode V, except that instead of choking his minion to death, he tortures him with images of his worst nightmare (he later subjects Calrissian to a similar treatment). It's eventually revealed that he's a Croke, a species of Always Chaotic Evil arachnids who specialize in this sort of power. The fact that he inherited all the secrets of a powerful Force sect made a bad situation far, far, worse. Turns out one reason the big scary Big Bad Gepta is so hard to battle one-on-one is because in addition to everything else, he isn't there. The real Rokur Gepta is about the size of a mouse and projecting an image of a humanoid foe; no amount of blaster fire can harm an enemy that's several feet below where you're shooting.

The Psycho Pirate, as portrayed in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. He traps Batman and the Outsiders in a Your Mind Makes It Real simulation so he can feed off their negative emotions. What takes it to Master of Illusion level is when Batman exits the simulator and sees Psy Pi off-handedly kill the Outsiders, and flips out. Turns out Bats is still inside the sim, and the apparent deaths were an illusion to trick him into powering Psy Pi with his rage.

Vampire Academy:
Lissa exhibits such powers in certain moments. Her first notable feat is making Jesse Zeklos have the illusion of spiders crawling all over him.
Lissa along with other spirit users; Adrian and Sonya Karp use illusions to mask the appearances of themselves and their allies. Used in the prison escapes of Victor Dashkov and Rose (on separate occasions), and to infiltrate guardian-protected locations. All for good causes though, they are not villains.

In Everworld, the witch Senna Wales started casting psychic illusions at age eight, and only got better at them as she grew older. Even after her power-up upon entering Everworld itself allowed her to use several new types of magic, illusion remained her strongest suit. She is able to make herself appear to be anyone or anything she can picture in her mind, turn invisible, and exclusively exclude certain targets from her trickery, allowing certain people to see her while she is invisible to others. She is also apparently able to spot others using illusion, as another witch tried and failed to fool her with the same tactic in the ninth book.

The Order of the Stick:
Girard Draketooth is/was a master illusionist. Notably, he rigged his dungeon with a spell that traps people in a Lotus-Eater Machine.
The party's Spoony Bard, Elan, mostly casts illusion spells. In the early comics he could only think of using them to cast female versions of enemies to distract them, which even he eventually noticed never worked. But later he learned how to disguise himself, lead enemies away with decoys, and fake summoning spells.
Roy's father was an Illusionist, and even as a ghost he can pose as a big, scary Celestial with a giant flaming sword.

Multiple Force-users are adept at this power. For example, in I, Jedi Exar Kun uses a similar trick as the one described above to torture Corran Horn with his own fears. Corran himself, like his ancestors, is also proficient with illusions, which almost makes up for them not having telekinesis: as one character cracks, Corran may not be able to move a rock, but he could convince anyone around that it had moved, including probably the rock itself. And how does Corran use it? Sometimes in battle, and sometimes so Tionne can see how she’d look with different hair. All Force-based illusions are based on implanting the images into the target's mind, a more advanced version of the Jedi Mind Trick, rather than producing holograms. This has the advantage that the target's own mind can fill in any details the user doesn't think of (making it less likely that a slip-up on the part of the user will result in the illusion being figured out), but it also means they only work against targets with a biological brain. Thus Force illusions will never trick droids, and any cameras viewing the scene won't pick up the illusion. The latter is less of a weakness than one might think, because Jedi and Sith illusion specialists tend to have astonishing range and can easily ensnare the mind of whoever is watching the video, from kilometers or even light-years away in some cases.

In Skyrim the perk 'Master of the Mind' allows you to use illusion spells against undead, daedra and automatons. However, many Illusion spells from the previous game are missing or placed in different schools.note This leaves only Fury (attack others), Calm (stop violence), Fear (Run away), Invisibility, Courage (stop running away), Muffle (move silently) and Clairvoyance (path to next goal) as Illusion spells. Command Daedra now exists in the Conjuration school. Light and Paralyze are now Alteration spells.

Soul Eater: Free can project illusions of himself that mimic his movements. While the illusions have no mass and attacks can slip through them without stopping, Free has been used the fact that he's got Complete Immortality to fake No Selling ranged attacks like Death the Kidd's gunshots, though the ruse falls apart when he starts jumping away from Black Star's melee attacks which makes no sense given his usual lack of care for personal safety.

Geist: The Sin-Eaters has the Phantasmal Key, which deals with the hallucinatory and ephemeral aspects of death and the afterlife. When filtered through the various Manifestations, its powers include cloaking oneself in guises so horrific they rend sanity (Caul), causing someone to experience terrible visions (Curse), hitting someone with an illusion so powerful it causes damage (Rage), and causing yourself to look like anyone else (Shroud).

Illusion is one of Razi's specialties in Havenfall Is for Lovers. Since he's one of the good guys, he largely uses it to help maintain the Masquerade (for instance, to prevent people from noticing the supernatural brawl going on in the middle of the day early in his first season), or to confuse enemies during a fight (such as making a mook's weapon "disappear"). He's capable of much more complicated illusions, however - at the extreme end, he shows himself able to trap someone in a Lotus-Eater Machine which is very difficult to break out of even once the person stuck in it realizes it's an illusion.

Laughing Octopus in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is arguably this. She's able to hide herself as nearly anything or anyone within the small medical clinic you fight her in, sometimes turning invisible, pretending to be your Robot Buddy, cloaking herself with inky mist, sometimes even just playing dead as one of her subordinate soldiers. While all this is going on, an extremely disturbing soundtrack laced with dissonant laughter plays. Laughing Octopus also effectively has access to the powers of Doctor Octopus, too, due to the four large mechanical tentacles attached to her.

In Persona 4 SILVER BLUE:
Like her canon counterpart, Labrys has illusion powers that can mess with the senses and perception of people around her. She uses it mainly to disguise herself as a human and blend in with the humans of Inaba. She can also use it in battle to confuse enemies.
Shadow Labrys too. She’s even better at it than Labrys, and she can even affect senses that Labrys doesn’t know how to affect yet, like time perception or temperature perception. She even used her powers to Mind Rape Shadow Yosuke and distract him so she could fight Labrys one-on-one.

Gus from The Owl House is an immensely skilled student of the illusion track. While he usually uses it for cheap parlor tricks, at his full power he becomes outright terrifying. In the climax of "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", he lures a pair of henchmen away with simple tricks based on what he knows of them, before taking down the episode's villain by making the statues of the area slowly turn towards her while weeping blood, make it seem like her magic doesn't work before turning her hands to stone, and finally make her confront a petrified and blood-weeping version of herself. She runs away screaming. And in "Labyrinth Runners" when the head of the Illusion Coven tries to seal away his powers, his fear causes him to create an illusion that covers most of the school.

In OSMU: Fanfiction Friction, this is why the Deadly Book The Book of Ashes is as dangerous as it is. Octavius explains that it looks into the minds of its victims and feeds on their emotions, whether that be fears or hopes and dreams, using them to destroy its victims. Orla, who is guarding the book, is on guard and threatens the book by telling it that it's ready for whatever it throws at her, just before it conjures up an illusion of her mother that looks, feels and acts perfectly real. Orla is swept away, as her mother tells her she had been searching for her daughter for years and had finally found her, but when the agent goes to hug her, her fingers turn into talons and tear right into Orla's back.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Although this was the gimmick of a different figure (Freya) in Norse Mythology, movie Loki is fond of using illusionary copies of himself to distract his enemies and to taunt them. In Thor: The Dark World, he displays the ability to cloak himself or others to look like other people. Thor: Ragnarok reveals that Loki has in fact been capable of Shapeshifting since he was a child and can turn himself or others into animals, although we haven't yet seen this onscreen.
Frigga was Loki's instructor in illusion magic. She uses an illusion to visit him during his incarceration, and she conjures a copy of Jane to mislead Malekith.
In Spider-Man: Far From Home, Mysterio is a sociopathic charlatan using powerful holograms and well-hidden weapons to trick the world into thinking that it is under siege by monsters, and that only he can save the day.

Dungeons & Dragons has plenty of illusion spells, and Halfling Bards tend to be illusionists. For several editions, the Wizard/Mage class had specialist variations, who specialized in one specific school of magic. Illusionist was one of them, and back in 2E Gnome mages had to be illusionists. And before there were specialist wizards, illusionist was its own class. In all cases, a high-level illusionist was a master of illusion by default. In 5E, Wizards specialized in Illusion spells get Minor Illusion for free (and can make both sounds and images with the same casting), manipulate their illusions on the fly, and even briefly make them tangible and real.

Farscape has two examples. First, Delvian Pa'us of a high enough level can alter one's perception of reality to the point of completely rewriting their memories. In the episode Rhapsody in Blue, while visiting a Delvian colony, the Pa'u's used this power of illusion to prevent the crew from leaving before their business concluded; one Delvian even convinced Crichton that she was his fiancee who had traveled with him on the Farscape project. A more classically villainous example is Maldis, a recurring character with some very impressive magical powers, among them being the ability to project visions and illusions. Given that he was also an Emotion Eater, he used this particular power to provoke fear and rage from his victims, which he would then feed on.

Vampire: The Masquerade has the Ravnos clan and their specific Discipline, Chimerstry. Its general levels range from affecting one sense alone to creating illusions so tangible they do damage. When you get into the elder levels, reality gets... strange.

In Batman: Arkham City, drugs are used to similar effect. In the ritualized fight against Ra's al Ghul Batman uses his cape and grapple gun to fly through air courses and then does battle with ninja sand clones and a giant spell-slinging sand ninja. When Batman is abducted by The Hatter he fights rabbits on a giant watch in an Amazing Technicolor Battlefield.

In A Planet Called Treason, there's a tribe that specializes in this. The only way they can be detected is by moving in a faster relative timeframe (the trait of another tribe). It leads to some squicky revelations in regards to a prior encounter when the protagonists realizes that it wasn't a woman that seduced him.

Jason Stryker’s power, most of which is expressed in crafting landscapes and scenarios for his victims to wander, though at one point he also creates an illusion of Xavier being able to walk again. Impressively, during the climax of X2: X-Men United, he's able to keep two different illusory scenarios running at the same time. Jason is basically the X-Men movies continuity's version of Mastermind, mentioned above.

In Resident Evil Village, Lady Beneviento is the only Lord of the Four Houses that doesn't directly fight Ethan. Instead, it's implied that she uses hallucinogenic plants to cause Ethan to experience horrifying visions that not only cause him to lose all of his gear but force him into encounters with both a baby-like monster as well as having to hunt down her Creepy Doll in what amounts to hide-and-seek with a time limit.

In The Lorelei Chronicles, the titular character is a heroic example. Whether she's hanging with the Avengers or being the Doctor's companion, you can count on her to use her psychic abilities to "make you sense what [she wants] you to sense" (in "Mischief Loves Company", it's stated that she has powers almost exactly like Loki of Marvel Comics, with the personality to match (minus the evilness)). When she has to, she'll use her powers to help her friends, but she prefers to just play pranks with them. Justified, in that her parents in her universe often have messy fights, so that when she universe hops to escape, she tries to prevent fighting by causing as much laughter as possible. Subverted slightly in that she can only use her power when in other universes.

Star Trek:
The oldest Star Trek example must be the Star Trek: The Original Series pilot, "The Cage". The Talosians, alien inhabitants of planet Talos 4, are Sufficiently Advanced Aliens with psychic powers who use them to cause the illusion so realistic that their victims will believe anything — that they found a camp of crash survivors from many years before, that they are beautiful when they are in fact disfigured, or re-create whole landscapes out of memories of the victim (how the victim moves around such a landscape while in fact he's in a small cage, is left unanswered, but probably the movement is part of the illusion). A Talosian not only manages to convince his victims that there's no hole in the wall (that they just made with a phaser), but also threatens the example from page text: to manipulate Enterprise crew into pressing wrong buttons and driving their ship into a crash.
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Devil's Due", a con artist uses holograms, transporters, and tractor beams to try and fool a planet into believing she is their version of the devil, here to collect on a thousand-year-old deal.
Star Trek: Voyager:
In the episode "Persistence of Vision", an alien tries to capture Voyager by drawing illusions from their subconscious fantasies. (A Negative Space Wedgie does the same thing in "Bliss". The short version is, it's not a Negative Space Wedgie, it's a giant creature's jaws.) Eventually, Janeway captures the alien and threatens to lock him up for the duration of their journey, whereupon he replies "I'd really like to accommodate you, but you see... I'm not really here!" whereupon he vanishes. In "Coda", an alien takes the form of Janeway's father and tries to convince her that she's been killed. The afterlife he's trying to entice her into is actually his realm where "you will nourish me for a long time." It sure looks like hell. And there's the sinister clown in "The Thaw", the creation of the fears of a group of aliens in suspended animation. Unfortunately, he completely dominates their world and can kill them through stress-inducing illusions (like being decapitated by a guillotine) if they attempt to leave.
In "Remember", "Memorial", and "Living Witness", the person creating the illusions isn't a villain; they're just trying to inform people about a shameful incident in their own history.

In Small Persons with Wings, the main form of magic used by the Parvi Pennati is the Magica Artificia, which can create illusions in all five senses. The Parvi use it to live lives of luxury, wearing elaborate ballgowns that are really filthy rags and eating feasts that are really crickets and slugs. Unfortunately, overuse of the Magica Artificia has caused them to lose their senses of taste and smell, so their illusory feasts no longer taste like anything.

Zonda from Azure Striker Gunvolt has this power. It manifests as the ability to create portals that move you or the enemies, and at one point flips the entire stage upside-down (which also means you have to press up twice rapidly instead of down to reload). It also lets her creates copies of herself for combat and deception, fire lasers, create copies of others, even the dead, whose personalities are identical...and that's before she upgrades to the point she can make her illusions true reality.

In The Twelve Kingdoms, the Trickster Demon in Youko's sword shows her illusions in an attempt to get her to kill herself and do morally reprehensible things. (It also gave her good advice from time to time, so she never quite knew when to listen to it and when not to.) Eventually, Youko learned that the sword reflected her own thoughts and fears back onto her, and she decided, instead of fearing the sword's power, to use it as a tool for understanding herself.

The oldest Star Trek example must be the Star Trek: The Original Series pilot, "The Cage". The Talosians, alien inhabitants of planet Talos 4, are Sufficiently Advanced Aliens with psychic powers who use them to cause the illusion so realistic that their victims will believe anything — that they found a camp of crash survivors from many years before, that they are beautiful when they are in fact disfigured, or re-create whole landscapes out of memories of the victim (how the victim moves around such a landscape while in fact he's in a small cage, is left unanswered, but probably the movement is part of the illusion). A Talosian not only manages to convince his victims that there's no hole in the wall (that they just made with a phaser), but also threatens the example from page text: to manipulate Enterprise crew into pressing wrong buttons and driving their ship into a crash.

In the Pony POV Series, this is the power of the Element of Deceit. It's user can change their appearance, create illusionary surroundings, create copies of themselves, and change their voice. Dark World!Applejack actually gets better at it after her Heel–Face Turn, eventually gaining the ability to fool the sense of touch.
In Season 2, Pearls, Princess Gaia/Nightmare Whisper (AKA: Fluttershy!) is this. She uses her powers for her plan to put everypony in their own personal paradise dream world, because she genuinely wanted to give them happiness. It is also revealed that her Princess Gaia form is a fake, hiding her true state as Nightmare Whisper.
Princess Ansai an alternate Trixie's alicorn self from one of the Dark world cycles, is the ultimate master of illusion.
Somnambula is this as well. Unlike Princess Gaia, she used it for far more sinister uses, like life draining people while in a dream to

The Elder Scrolls:
Illusion magic is one of the series' standard magical schools (along with Destruction, Conjuration, Restoration, etc.), defined by the ability to alter the world without respect to the physical laws, but only affecting the caster and the target. Included in the effects it covers (though varying depending on the game) are creating magical sources of light, charming NPCs to raise their disposition, calming a hostile enemy, the ability to frenzy a passive NPC into attacking, inflicting magical paralysis on a foe and, perhaps most popularly, spells of invisibility and chameleon, the latter of which has been a Game-Breaker in more than few games in the series when used properly.
Throught the series and in background lore, liches often have these powers, as part of the overall enhancements to their spellcasting abilities being a lich provides. Some are able to maintain a facade of humanity, at least until that form is attacked or slain, at which point they revert to their true undead form.
In Arena, Big Bad Jagar Tharn is a classic Evil Sorcerer mixed with Evil Chancellor. Tharn has kidnapped Emperor Uriel Septim VII, trapped him in a pocket realm of Oblivion, and has taken his place as Emperor, using his magic to look and sound just like Septim.
In Skyrim the perk 'Master of the Mind' allows you to use illusion spells against undead, daedra and automatons. However, many Illusion spells from the previous game are missing or placed in different schools.note This leaves only Fury (attack others), Calm (stop violence), Fear (Run away), Invisibility, Courage (stop running away), Muffle (move silently) and Clairvoyance (path to next goal) as Illusion spells. Command Daedra now exists in the Conjuration school. Light and Paralyze are now Alteration spells.
A few stories in the in-universe literature recount how Illusion spells have been used for dramatic effect. For example, the book 'Silence' tells the story of a warrior who was tasked with defeating an evil sorcerer, and how he sought out an Illusionist to teach him a Silence spell. This served to deprive the sorcerer of his magic, but also proved to have other uses.

Magic: The Gathering:
This is a standard ability of blue magic. The typical mechanical representation is that the illusory creature you summon is cheaper than usual, but opponents can Shatter The Illusion—if the creature is targeted by some effect, the illusion breaks and the creature dies.
This common weakness is negated by "Lord of the Unreal," a wizard that beefs up illusions and makes them impossible to target.
Jace Beleren is a prominent user of illusion magic in the storyline and in the Video Game Adaptation Duels of the Planeswalkers. However, this has not appeared on any of his four planeswalker cards so far, a fact that Head Designer Mark Rosewater has publicly regretted.
Also, Ixidor's title is "Reality sculptor". He's such a good illusionist, he can will his illusions into reality!

A number of Ultra Series monsters, but a few had this as their defining trait.
Paragon from Return of Ultraman is arguably the greatest illusionist in the Ultra Series. This bizarre kaiju was used by the alien Stora to wreak havoc around Mt. Fuji with all sorts of mirages, including fooling MAT into attacking civilians and each other, causing cars to crash into each other down the highway, and even making itself seem bigger than it already is.
Faldon from Ultraman Tiga is capable of creating illusion images of itself to distract Tiga and the Guts defense forces.
Galberos, a Cerberus-like kaiju from Ultraman Nexus, performs illusions by hypnotizing targets to create immortal illusions of their greatest fears, make itself seem as if it has turned invisible, and make doubles of itself, among other things.

Hook from Push can make any object look like another. He uses this as a Mundane Utility quite often, passing off relatively small amounts of money as large bills, and impressing people with his variation of card tricks. Used extensively in the climax. His illusions aren't permanent though, and the object will shift back to its original form after enough time has passed. Unfortunately, when Division found out he was doing this, his wife inexplicably turned up dead the next day after being involved in a car accident...despite the fact that she doesn't drive.

Spider-Man:
Mysterio falls into this trope, and he even titles himself "The Master of Illusion". Though his illusions are all based on his previous employment in the special effects industry, they can still be terrifyingly effective (though trying it on an Omega Class psychic? is not a good idea). After Mysterio committed suicide in Daredevil, and returned from the dead, his subsequent appearances revealed that he may or may not have Came Back Wrong, with actual illusion-casting powers. In the Old Man Logan storyline, Mysterio makes illusions so real that it tricks Wolverine into killing all of the other X-Men and breaking him when he dismisses the illusion.
It's also done on occasion by the Chameleon.
The Clone Saga included a mysterious villain named Judas Traveller who appeared to have almost unlimited reality warping powers. After many issues of build-up, it came as something of a disappointment when it finally turned out he was just an illusionist.
A minor foe, Mirage, and Fusion, who appeared in only two stories. (Admittedly one of them was awesome.)

In Royal Chaos, the sequel to comedic fantasy Jason Cosmo, the wedding of a main character turns tragic due to what he immediately recognizes as the intervention of one of these. This leads to going on a quest to discover just which Master of Illusion was responsible (there turn out to be several candidates with equally strong motives) and kill him/her/it (one's a shapeshifter as well), despite that they're clearly just being toyed with whenever the Master bothers to check in to see how they're doing. Pretty much all the uses of illusion mentioned above come into play at some point against the heroes.

Fairy Tail:
Heroic example: Mystogan/Mist Gun is a mysterious man who usually tries to avoid contact with anyone else in the title guild. His illusions are so convincing and so well used that he's an S-Class mage, and ranks with Gildarts and Laxus as one of the guild's top three. You later find out his reason for staying mysterious: He's an alternate universe counterpart of a man who is a hated criminal in this world. He's here to stop his nation's king from carrying out a deadly plan, and he doesn't want to be mistaken for the criminal while he does his work.
Later on, Jellal ups the ante by impersonating Mystogan — including his magic. The fact that he's using illusion magic is itself an illusion!
Midnight can do this by bending light before it reaches his target's eyes, usually by fooling his foes into attacking an illusion of himself. In fact, his "trump card" is faking a One-Winged Angel with a particularly powerful illusion and letting his enemies fight fruitlessly against it as they go crazy from fear.
Roubaul was able to create illusions of an entire population that were solid and all had their own thoughts and personalities, and maintained the illusions for over seven years. By Jura's assessment, Roubaul may be one of the most powerful illusion casters of all time.

Black Fleet Crisis:
The Fallanassi are very skilled at illusions, even to the point of hiding an entire temple by creating the façade of its being just ruins. It can also make them invisible by merging with the background. They're even capable of making an entire illusionary fleet appear, which is used to help the New Republic win against the Yevetha.
Luke uses the Force to manipulate other people's minds and make himself look like a completely different person. Akanah, one of the aforementioned Fallanassi, disapproves of this as it's affecting them mentally, which is a form of coercion to her (as a pacifist, she condemns that).

Kogarashi, the titular Kamen no Maid Guy, has among his (effectively infinite) powers one called "Daydreaming Maid Guy Illusion." His uses for it are rather... creative. Such as scaring his master Naeka out of a forced fasting, sending one of her kendo rivals into a rampage, and other fun and games. He is a Sociopathic Hero.

Justice Society of America villain Brainwave started off as a master of illusion, then inherited his dad's telepathy. Then he got stuck in the Heel–Face Revolving Door, not so much because he was that awesome, but because nobody could remember which side he was on last (or, in one case, that his dad, who had similar powers and used his son's appearance because he was a freaky midget dude, was dead).

Child of the Storm has the traditional example of Loki, who is the undisputed master of the art. By the sequel, Harry is also rather competent at it (in part because he's Loki's nephew with the advantage of one on one tutelage, and partly because it resonates with his Psychic Powers), enough to cast some very convincing Glamour — namely, impersonating the Dark Phoenix (though that takes a lot of concentration).
Magneto also demonstrates skills in this department thanks to the more esoteric applications of his powers — manipulating light. He drops an illusion of a large piece of panelling on Harry, relying on his instinctive reaction (to grab it with his telekinesis) to demonstrate that Harry is capable of manipulating energy as well as matter.

Red Panda Adventures:
The Red Panda is an accomplished hypnotist. His most frequently used tactic is to project fake mental images of himself to give opponents targets to attack while he is somewhere else entirely. In other instances, he can hypontize enemies into experiencing their greatest fears, or into believing their past victims have come to haunt them. His most extreme action is against villainous hypnotist Nick Diablos, visiting unto him the fate he gave to his victims: being put into a catatonic state during which they experience their deepest horrors.
Episode 51, "The Puzzle Master", this is how the villain ensnares his victims in a seemingly endless maze. A driving mystery is how the Puzzle master can even have such a maze without any structures available to house it. The answer is technical equipment that affects the mind in a manner similar to hypnosis, enhanced by more mundane methods of interrogation, allows the Puzzle Master to trick his victims into thinking they're in an endless maze when the actual area is very small and changed as needed, meaning only a small amount of the maze has to exist at any given moment.

A few stories in the in-universe literature recount how Illusion spells have been used for dramatic effect. For example, the book 'Silence' tells the story of a warrior who was tasked with defeating an evil sorcerer, and how he sought out an Illusionist to teach him a Silence spell. This served to deprive the sorcerer of his magic, but also proved to have other uses.

Pokémon: The Series:
In the episode "Malice in Wonderland", Mismagius shows off Master of Illusion powers by hypnotizing all the main characters (except, inexplicably, Brock's Croagunk).
Zoroark, a Pokémon from the fifth generation, has the ability to take on the appearance of the Pokémon she faces in a battle. The illusion breaks when she takes sufficient damage. To top that off, Zoroark is the main Pokémon in the 13th movie, appropriately titled Zoroark: Master of Illusions. Zoroark's ability is showcased in a trailer for the 13th movie, where she assumes the appearances of the Legendary Beasts from Generation 2 (who are also featured Pokémon in the film) and Ash.
Zoroark's previous stage, Zorua, also possesses the same ability and stars in the 13th Pokémon movie alongside Zoroark.
The Gastly line has been show repeatedly to use illusions to either drive people away or just mess with them.

Downplayed, but still deserving of mention, is Leblanc ("The Deceiver") from League of Legends. Her ultimate ability lets her either create a physical copy of herself at her own location that uses an attack, then runs in the opposite direction from the real Leblanc and vanishes after a few seconds, or create an illusory copy anywhere on the map that runs toward the nearest enemy, uses a fake attack, and then vanishes. Both copies are indistinguishable from the real Leblanc and can be used to trick enemies into wasting their abilities, chasing the wrong one, or running away from a fight thinking they are about to be outnumbered. She can also fake out enemies by blinking to a position she was a few seconds ago. Her illusion abilities are more extensive in her lore, where she influences a major political event by impersonating a king.
Similarly, Shaco is based around tricking enemies with cloaking and a controllable copy of himself.

Erfworld: Jack Snipe, as are all Foolamancers, though Jack is noted to be particularly good even by his caster class's standards. His abilities go far beyond simple tricks of the light- Jack can cloak entire armies and cities at a time, project illusions of every sense except touch (yes, that includes taste), and at one point enables a blinded Jillian to "see" by broadcasting an illusion of his own perception into her head. He's almost-singlehandedly the reason why Faq managed to remain an unknown kingdom for as long as it did.

Star Wars Legends:
The Lando Calrissian Adventures: Rokur Gepta, the last Sorcerer of Tund. For example, he has a You Have Failed Me moment quite a bit like Darth Vader's in Episode V, except that instead of choking his minion to death, he tortures him with images of his worst nightmare (he later subjects Calrissian to a similar treatment). It's eventually revealed that he's a Croke, a species of Always Chaotic Evil arachnids who specialize in this sort of power. The fact that he inherited all the secrets of a powerful Force sect made a bad situation far, far, worse. Turns out one reason the big scary Big Bad Gepta is so hard to battle one-on-one is because in addition to everything else, he isn't there. The real Rokur Gepta is about the size of a mouse and projecting an image of a humanoid foe; no amount of blaster fire can harm an enemy that's several feet below where you're shooting.
Multiple Force-users are adept at this power. For example, in I, Jedi Exar Kun uses a similar trick as the one described above to torture Corran Horn with his own fears. Corran himself, like his ancestors, is also proficient with illusions, which almost makes up for them not having telekinesis: as one character cracks, Corran may not be able to move a rock, but he could convince anyone around that it had moved, including probably the rock itself. And how does Corran use it? Sometimes in battle, and sometimes so Tionne can see how she’d look with different hair. All Force-based illusions are based on implanting the images into the target's mind, a more advanced version of the Jedi Mind Trick, rather than producing holograms. This has the advantage that the target's own mind can fill in any details the user doesn't think of (making it less likely that a slip-up on the part of the user will result in the illusion being figured out), but it also means they only work against targets with a biological brain. Thus Force illusions will never trick droids, and any cameras viewing the scene won't pick up the illusion. The latter is less of a weakness than one might think, because Jedi and Sith illusion specialists tend to have astonishing range and can easily ensnare the mind of whoever is watching the video, from kilometers or even light-years away in some cases.
Black Fleet Crisis:
The Fallanassi are very skilled at illusions, even to the point of hiding an entire temple by creating the façade of its being just ruins. It can also make them invisible by merging with the background. They're even capable of making an entire illusionary fleet appear, which is used to help the New Republic win against the Yevetha.
Luke uses the Force to manipulate other people's minds and make himself look like a completely different person. Akanah, one of the aforementioned Fallanassi, disapproves of this as it's affecting them mentally, which is a form of coercion to her (as a pacifist, she condemns that).

Star Trek: Voyager:
In the episode "Persistence of Vision", an alien tries to capture Voyager by drawing illusions from their subconscious fantasies. (A Negative Space Wedgie does the same thing in "Bliss". The short version is, it's not a Negative Space Wedgie, it's a giant creature's jaws.) Eventually, Janeway captures the alien and threatens to lock him up for the duration of their journey, whereupon he replies "I'd really like to accommodate you, but you see... I'm not really here!" whereupon he vanishes. In "Coda", an alien takes the form of Janeway's father and tries to convince her that she's been killed. The afterlife he's trying to entice her into is actually his realm where "you will nourish me for a long time." It sure looks like hell. And there's the sinister clown in "The Thaw", the creation of the fears of a group of aliens in suspended animation. Unfortunately, he completely dominates their world and can kill them through stress-inducing illusions (like being decapitated by a guillotine) if they attempt to leave.
In "Remember", "Memorial", and "Living Witness", the person creating the illusions isn't a villain; they're just trying to inform people about a shameful incident in their own history.

Victoria Harkness, granddaughter of Doctor Doom, in Marvel 100th Anniversary Special is supposedly one of these. We never see her use her powers, however.

Dragonvarld:
Draconas can cast illusion spells very skillfully which make something appear to be wholly different from reality. This is how he appears as a human in fact, not only to others but himself.
Marcus later learns to, making an illusion which appears as Bellona still in her cell while he breaks her out of prison. Another illusion makes her seem one with the darkness while she walks out.
Grald has hidden his entire city, Dragonkeep, under a huge illusion it's revealed, with the surrounding area just looking like normal forest. The only people able to pass inside Dragonkeep are those like him who know the secret entrances. His army learned to make themselves invisible with an illusion as well.

The Japanese sorcerer Nakano in Highlander III: The Sorcerer, Connor MacLeod's mentor, possesses the power of illusion, using it to confuse his opponents. Kane steals it from him by killing him, using it to impersonate people and create fake projections to trick them.

Illusions in Defense of the Ancients: All-Stars are simply copies of units that deal proportionally less damage than its original, take much more damage, and can't use active skills. While sometimes they can come in handy for tricking the enemy into thinking it's you, they are more often used by carries to multiply their damage output. Chaos Knight, Terrorblade, and Naga Siren are carries that use illusions of themselves to deal damage and have skills that synergize with illusions well, and any hero can have two copies of themselves by using a Manta Style or picking up a Rune of Illusion. But the true king of illusions is Phantom Lancer. Not only do all but one skill create illusions of himself, his illusions can create illusions. With as much as 14 Phantom Lancers on the map, things can get hectic when you're facing an army of him. Properly decked out, Phantom Lancer players will be surprised that they killed someone without knowing simply because they left a stray illusion on the map.

Kingdom Hearts: The page quote comes from Zexion, one of the members of Organization XIII. Illusions are pretty much the only things he uses with the heroes, and he doesn't even fight Riku in the original Chain of Memories. But that doesn't make him a pushover. Final Mix + and Re: Chain of Memories show just how far the Cloaked Schemer can implement his powers: cloning himself and his weapons, copying attacks, blocking/stealing combat abilities, pocket dimensions where he traps his foes…give the guy an inch, and he'll obliterate you.

Anyone holding one of the Pieces of Eden becomes one of these in the Assassin's Creed franchise. This is used as an explanation for many seemingly impossible or unlikely events in history, including Jesus's miracles. You can even do some of it in the games, such as Altaïr using an Apple of Eden to defeat an entire army by causing them to think an army of assassins is striking them down.

Mysterio falls into this trope, and he even titles himself "The Master of Illusion". Though his illusions are all based on his previous employment in the special effects industry, they can still be terrifyingly effective (though trying it on an Omega Class psychic? is not a good idea). After Mysterio committed suicide in Daredevil, and returned from the dead, his subsequent appearances revealed that he may or may not have Came Back Wrong, with actual illusion-casting powers. In the Old Man Logan storyline, Mysterio makes illusions so real that it tricks Wolverine into killing all of the other X-Men and breaking him when he dismisses the illusion.

Hellsing:
Zorin Blitz, to the point that it goes into full-on Mind Rape, using her power to make herself appear giant-sized and later getting right into the minds of her victims.
And, to a lesser extent, Tubalcain Alhambra, the Dandy Man, who can create illusionary clones out of cards.
Alucard can manipulate shadows to create illusions, but he almost always prefers a more direct approach.

Circe from Heroes of Newerth specializes in illusions and plays this trope straight by craftily utilizing them to trick her enemies. She has the ability to create an illusion of any hero, which means not only can you create several illusions of your team's carry to multiply its damage output, you can recreate your own team and maybe trick the enemy team into wasting their skills on them. Another skill discretely turns herself invisible and leave a copy of her illusion to distract her foes while she makes an escape. Silhouette also deserves a mention, as her ultimate creates an almost perfect illusion of herself. While normally illusions are proportionally weaker than its original, her illusion is unusually powerful and at max level, it actually takes and deals normal damage. She can also swap positions with her illusion, which is great for avoiding damage should the enemy team try and kill her.

Paragon from Return of Ultraman is arguably the greatest illusionist in the Ultra Series. This bizarre kaiju was used by the alien Stora to wreak havoc around Mt. Fuji with all sorts of mirages, including fooling MAT into attacking civilians and each other, causing cars to crash into each other down the highway, and even making itself seem bigger than it already is.

Fighting Fantasy has Illusion Spells in a few books, such as The Citadel of Chaos and the Sorcery! series, which allows the spellcaster to fool opponents into seeing things or trick them that they're being attacked. It's mostly reliable against most non-magic using enemies, unless the spellcaster take actions to ruin the spell himself (like turning into a snake or mouse, and then suddenly attacking his opponent with a sword).

Saint Seiya:
Phoenix Ikki. Once used his "Phoenix Illusion Demonic Fist", it sends various nightmare illusions directly created by the opponent's brain; he or she is trapped within an illusion that is almost indistinguishable from reality.
Gemini Saga. This is how he can duplicate his Temple, control his cloth far away from the battlefield and create an infinite maze in his temple which can trap his opponents for an eternity... unless someone breaks his concentration.
Virgo Shaka. When he strikes, the enemy sees his glittering form against a breathtaking view of fantastic worlds and places within the Buddhist tradition; such illusions are a part of his technique in confusing and defeating opponents using something akin to psychological warfare.
