Illusion is probably the most OP magic school in the game. Muffle + Invis and you are basically undetectable. Throw out Frenzy spells and make enemies kill themselves; it's even better from stealth. Fear can be useful to get something off your back (especially outside, where they may run into other enemies that will kill them), Calm is great for when you don't want to kill someone but pissed off them somehow (failed a pick pocket for example). The key with Illusion is that it's more of a "thinking man's" magic school; it's not as straight forward as Destruction or Conjuration, but it lets you do a lot of extra little things.

Are you kidding me? Illusion is the single most powerful skill in the entire game!

Muffle and Invisibility: The thief's and assassin's dream spells.
Fury, Frenzy, et al: Make you enemies kill each other for you.
Calm, Fear, etc: Crowd control writ large.

The trick to Illusion is to get the perks. The highest perk lets to control EVERY enemy in the game except dragons and a tiny handful of named bosses. If you don't want to get the perks, then just don't bother with Illusion. This is a skill for those who want to be godlike, not those who just want to swing a sword around and save their perks for Lockpick.

That's what Ilusion is! There is no command spell (making your enemy your temporary follower), but fury, calm, and fear are nothing to sneeze out. Make your enemies your friends, or run away from you in fear, or fight each other.

Illusion magic totally rocks! Easy to get to 100 with it too.

Muffle and Invisibility are made mostly obsolete by the perks in the Sneak tree: Silence gives you permanent Muffle, and Shadow Warrior lets you hide on a whim. Granted you've got to do a fair bit of sneaking to unlock them, but then, you've got to do a fair bit of casting to get Invisibility, too.

Harmony's probably my favourite spell in the tree; it allows you to re-pickpocket people who've caught you. The lower-level Calm spells do not.

Then there's the Quiet Casting perk, which really is essential for sneaking around. Without that, simply readying a spell (without even holding down a button to start casting it) will reveal you.
