[@Pair of Hearts] Considering Misdirection would be a skill of it's own that could upgrade into more elaborate versions. Just like how Hide is a skill, which could later be turned into Sneak allowing movement along with being hidden. you pretty much specifically stated 'Stage magic is magic that can be preformed on a stage' that technically would narrow it down some of where you can use it. do take in consideration that skills can upgrade when they reach a certain level to more complex versions. Prime example: reaching appropriate level with Sneak will alow it to upgrade into Stealth or Sneak. Stealth is a short time skill that allows one to hide themselves while gaining a small movement bonus, has greater chance of being discovered, can be used in combat. Sneak is a longer time skill allowing one to hide, but can only move at normal speed or slower, has a lower chance of being discovered, can't be used in combat.
