Since Illusion dosn't have much in the way of interesting custom spells, I'd like to see PCs having access to the often-used "send an image" trick NPC mages do.
QuoteProjection (Illusion)
L4 Arcane Spell

You send a projection of yourself to a selected location. You may see and talk through the projection as if you were there personally, but may not move. If attacked with magic, the Projection dissipates. You are unaware of your actual surroundings while sending a Projection.
How this would work would be using a combination of the Arcane Eye and Teleport mechanisms. You select a location, and when you cast Projection you take over a clone of your PC at that location, like for Arcane Eye. It has 1 HP, 50/+1 Physical DR and will vanish if hit by Dispels. The Projection is visible and appears semi-transparent.

Alternatively it could create a projection at that location which you could talk through via voice commands but you would not be able to posess and therefore see through.

Deception

Neat concept, I like it.

Nuclear Catastrophe

While I do like this spell a lot (and have good memories from the 2E games!), and it's certainly feasible, apparently it's a real p.i.t.a. to add spells now.

Ebok

<_< This would be amazing.

Relinquish

If implemented I would suggest a range, otherwise illusionists could quasi-scry anywhere on the server using this method.

Disco

Well it would be the ultimate tank on a quest with 50/+1 DR. I would suguest removing that bit.
P.S Yes I know its not intended for that sort of use, but if people can do it, they will. Still its a good idea.

Ebok

Oh, I didn't even look at that. Yeah, letting damage damage it isn't a bad thing.

Yalta

A RP spell that would allow you to "create" non-combat illusions of yourself would be great.
 
The idea of tricking people as to where you are and what you are up to is very appealing!
 
All that said as NC mentions I imagine its a pain to implement.
