Phenakistomancer

Raised amidst sumptuous draperies of silk, idyllic tea parties and the grand ballrooms of High Gardens, you are part of a soi-disant aristocracy that sustains influence through crafty interplay of smoke and mirrors—indeed, quite literally. You have inherited the elder traditions of understanding and manipulating optical illusions by employing a most ingenuous apparatus known as the Phenakistoscope. Invested with such recondite knowledge, you occasionally indulge yourself in exquisite adventures wherein you bear witness to outlandish wonders with your own senses.
