At least to be best of my knowledge, NPCs cannot use Illusion spells against you. Yet they're potentially very useful and powerful. Personally, I don't like having a whole school of magic in my arsenal NPCs don't seem able to deploy. It would be straightforward to implement - the game seizes control of your character for effect duration and essentially turns you into an NPC while you're illusioned. You come round and discover you've decapitated Lydia in a blind frenzy. It makes a change from shouting her off a cliff. I don't think they'd ever do this as people would be too upset about losing control of their actions, albeit for a very short time, but I think it would make for some potentially very challenging opponents who could cast such spells at a high enough level to affect you and if it's a school of magic, not just you should be doing it. What do other people think?
