TACTICS

When a thaumatillerist becomes aware of intruders, it attempts to hide using normal stealth and greater invisibility. When it decides to engage, it casts holographic image to create a decory and alternate firing position. (The thaumatillerist can use its arcane lance and arcane blast abilities through the holographic image.)

It is equipped with an arcane energy projector that can be used both in close combat and at range, and it is also capable of casting an array of spells.
