I would Love to shout "Mirage Prism Make Up" every Time I use it. But Glamour Sounds Great too.

The world glamour has been used in Western pen and paper RPGs to describe small effects that alter perceptions for DECADES now. Get over it. If it makes you feel too girly, don't use it, or purchase some Cootie Repellent from your local neighborhood 1st grade boy.
Only thing that flat out sucks about it is not being able to use it with Odin Armor. Maybe they can have a NPC that can break it down into separate pieces if you hand it into them. Seems a damn shame to have to keep such badass looking armor in storage.

Eh think of it as Glamour in terms of magic. In 1.0 there was a quest involving rescuing the Sylphs' stolen podlings and they placed a Glamour on you to make you invisible to sneak you through Moonspore Grove.
It's actually a little disturbing that you're associating the word only as "female connotation".

Screw that, I'm fabulous and I want everyone to know it.P.S. I'm not complaining, I just dislike the name. My emphasis lies more in the female-connotation of being "glamorous" in a Western Society... which' why I bring up the point I can't hide my earrings or necklace. Some may disagree, but I already feel forced into too much femininity in the game already.



Be happy they don't use a name like in german.
Projektion (projection)

The name doesn't bother me that much. I do feel that gating it to level 50 is a bit odd. When you consider how many actual features come at level 15, 20, or 30 to restrict something that has zero impact on actual game play to level 50 is just off. Really the only way that makes sense is when you compare it to the other instances where the development team seems to change their minds midway through development.



you do realize some of the mose masculine men in western society wear rings and earrings right? and that masculine men have done so throughout history of the entire world right? not to mention most of the rings and earrings in the game aren't all that feminine to begin with...P.S. I'm not complaining, I just dislike the name.

What are the other 2 things you want changed?
1) Multi-slot->One-slot doesn't let you Glamour the next slot (e.g. head & chest darklight cowl to healer's robe).
So I can convert my hooded robe into a plain, bodily robe but am not then permitted to wear a headpiece. That's a bit ridiculous, don't you think?
BONUS (OPINION): The Name.
Mirage Prism was 1,000x better. It's already bad enough I'm forced to display earrings on my rugged male Hyur... now I get to 'glamour' myself? If you let me glamour my jewelry into nothing-ness, that could work... but still, Glamour?!

Glamour doesn't mean glamorous.
It can be a type of magical illusion or enchantment, often affecting appearance, to make things appear more attractive.
Mirage Prism isn't 1000x better if you know what words mean.
Hey, look, a thread all about some guy's insecurity as a man! How about we just call it "bling bling"? But if you prefer to use Moon Prism Power for your pretty transformations, we shouldn't judge.Mirage Prism was 1,000x better.
