Will Illusion magic ever be a thing?

Nebulous

Hello there. I'll get straight to the point, back when I played Skyrim I loved playing as an Illusion Thief. I would use Illusion spells like Invisibility, Muffle, and Charm to avoid combat, to the point where I only had to kill when I was force to in order to progress in a quest. I recently returned to this game after hearing about the Thieves Guild expansion, and I'm having a blast so far. However, I face one problem that I used to have back in Skyrim as well, NPCs staring into your eyes the second you break into a house, do they ever sleep? I used illusion spells, (and mods that could force NPCs to sleep with spells/tools) in order to work around this.
There's no way to do that here, you just have to take the bounty. While this isn't game-breaking or anything, it is annoying.

So yeah, I was just wondering if Illusion magic (in the form of sleep, charm, calm, fury, etc.) will ever be a thing in this game? Vampires could use it to feed off of friendly NPCs without consequences (if they can't already). And with the Thieves Guild having become a reality, I believe it would truly be a great addition to the Thief play style.

Edit: Might as well make a few suggestions since I already created a thread. Short version: I'd like illusion magic as a quality of life thing as I steal everything in Tamriel worth more than 40 gold. Like Charm, Calm, Sleep, and a Memory Wipe (removes bounty given to you by the target NPC in the last minute). Something like that.

They dropped the ball in this aspect. I don't think we will ever see it. They are in cash in mode emerging game play and expansion of roles is not even on the white board of ideas

I think @Wifeaggro13 is spot on. The dream of an ACTUAL TES MMO is dead...

There are invis pots and such, you may want to try that. I think you are right though about the whole field of magic, would be nice if they included it.
I dont ever get bounty for getting into a house, maybe I have been lucky....and to be honest I usually stick to the ones I already know, as my toon is more of a rogue than a thief.

One of the professions I love in GW2, Mesmers & their illusion magic. Cannot remember illusion magic really featuring much in Oblivion or Skyrim though.

Magicka NB uses illusion magic. Fear, Cloak

I see, thanks for the replies. I guess no one knows for sure, but the future prospects for illusion magic looks grim.

I for one would hope that someday they might do something along the lines of my proposed Class Morph Idea, and then... have "illusionist" as one of the possible options. But yeah, at this point... it is a mere hope, a daydream, and nothing more. Sadly.
