Trickery BGIII

Symbol of the trickery domain.

The Trickery domain was a suite of spells and powers granted by deities whose portfolios included pranks, deception, and larceny. They granted divine spellcasters like clerics with magic of illusion and deceit.[1][2] As a general rule, a cleric with the Trickery domain was a force of disruption, who preferred a deceptive approach to matters than a direct one.[2]
