Is there actually any lore that explains who can take up this kind of.. magic? I'm not strictly talking about making clothes look like X whilst in actuality it's Y. I'm talking about those Garleans on the beach in their swimwear then WHOOP armoured ninja soldier. Talking about a certain Coerthan heretic that went from Malezen to Aevis.Â
All kinds of illusionary magic, really.
I have no information that can help so this is just my opinion really!
I make an exception for the elezen and sylphs since they have special powers, naturally, but every other example of this has been in what can be described as "fluff" quests to be honest(as far as I can remember) and honestly I prefer to imagine that such a thing isn't actually very feasible - otherwise it would pose a VERY, real threat to not just military and organisations and influential, diplomatic leaders, but to the general populace too.
So while I don't know about any lore behind it, I'm personally of the opinion that it should be highly restrictive to how, where and how long it can be used or at least come with some serious repercussions.
Having said that, I'm one of those people who believe that just because something is in the game, it doesn't make it canon.
