Glamour

"Involvere."

―Angel performs a glamour^[src]

A Glamour (or Glamor) was a spell used to conceal or hide the true form of an object, person or area under an illusion. Glamours were not only optical but also auditory as well. While some of them could remain for an indefinite amount of time, others had a time-based existence and eventually faded. Unlike reality alteration or transmogrification, glamours did not cause actual modifications in reality.

Jonathan Levinson Edit

"Some of my best work."

―Jonathan Levinson^[src]

Jonathan Levinson employed glamours to alter his appearance. He assumed the form of a massive demon to deceive Buffy Summers and cover the Trio's plan to study the Slayer's strengths and weaknesses. Months later, he assumed the form of Katrina Silber as part of Warren Mears' plot to make Buffy believe she had killed Katrina. These glamours remained in effect until the caster undid them.

Roger Wyndam-Pryce impostor Edit

A cyborg impersonating Roger Wyndam-Pryce, the father of Wesley, used a glamour to appear as the elder Watcher. After being killed, the glamour faded, revealing the cyborg's true visage.

Angel Edit

"As far as anyone outside this room is concerned, we're still at each other's throats."

―Angel^[src]

In order to reveal his infiltration in the Circle of the Black Thorn and his plan to wipe them out, Angel performed a temporal, localized glamour to conceal himself and his allies. To the outside viewer, Angel and his teammates were just fighting and shouting at each other.
