Default Bards and Illusions

Anyone know why Bards didn't get Illusion as on of the colleges for which they can access spells? Illusion just seems to naturally pair with a magic caster that is associated with story-telling and entertaining.

It's a good question, but I imagine that the reason is simply that sound-based magic wouldn't reasonably produce visual, light-based illusions.

Auditory illusions definitely make sense, though! And so do "visual" illusions, if defined as hallucinations created in the target's mind.

There's an option in Delvers To Grow get another college, like Illusion among others.

Yep. I guess Delvers to Grow will be essential for me going forward.
