Videturmancy

Videturmancy, also known seeming magic, was a discipline of magic. It involved the creative and sometimes humorous craft of illusions. Though it had impressive capabilities like grand diversions, mind mazes and making an army seem countless from a distance, it was also a favourite of novice crafters for its easy and creative effects. Many videturmancers started out with card tricks and street shows, adding their own style and flair to the magic. Others were more sinister, using it to mislead and trick the unwary.
As a videturmancer, you gained the following cantriplike ability. It effectively is a free minor illusion cantrip, which is harmless, you can cast at will, as an action, and lasting up to a minute, but with a much more fancy and limited effect. It had no components. 
*Lightwork. You can create a small visual illusion of your choice for up to a minute that is clearly magical (it will not fool others, that's what minor illusion is for). It can be small enough to fit in your hands or big enough to wear, but it cannot project further than a foot or two away from any part of you. Thus, you could make a tall top hat, chair, or a sword, but not a wall or animal (unless it was an animal on your shoulder). It's clearly an illusion; perhaps it is starry or sparkly, or shimmers. This trick is sometimes used by street performers to wow their audiences. This ability is meant to be a lesser version of minor illusion without components.
One notable videturmancer was Soot; another was the circus performer Virion Galadell.
