Quora has advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic.

Illusory Self

He can create an illusory duplicate of himself as an instant, almost instinctual reaction to danger. When a creature makes an attack roll against him, he can use his reaction to interpose the illusory duplicate between the attacker and himself. The attack automatically misses him, then the illusion dissipates. Once he uses this feature, he can't use it again until he finishes a short or long rest.

Malleable Illusions

When he casts an illusion spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, he can use his action to change the nature of that illusion (using the normal parameters for the illusion), provided that he can see the illusion.
