Knowledge of the Music skill implies that the character has trained in singing as well as in percussion instruments. It implies the ability to be able to listen to and repeat music that was heard through whistling, humming, or singing it. It also implies at least a basic knowledge of Music Theory to the point of being able to compose simple songs, though only the Composer profession would have a deeper knowledge of it to be able to compose more difficult pieces.

Knowledge of one or more string, woodwind, or other music instruments. If the character chooses to specify them, they may, but in a general sense this allows a character to play with some degree of competency any string or woodwind instrument and with precision any instrument they own.

This is different than illusions created via Arcane Knowledge. It implies a great deal of Dexterity, Stealth, and practice to deceive the eyes and ears of others. These illusions can be used in a variety of ways including to camouflage the character, to mesmerize those watching the character, or even to force opponents to attack the wrong location.

A successful Stealth check would normally allow for a character to camouflage themselves, but with the Sleight-of-Hand Illusions knowledge, the character would do so with an additional two dice of effectiveness.

With a successful Dexterity or Stealth attack (whichever is worse) vs Cognitive Defense, a character can freeze all opponents who fail for that round. This implies that either they are mesmerized, distracted, or they attacked the illusion instead of a real target.
