And ask yourself? What are reasons to take up illusions, rather then other sorts of spellcasting? Work from there.

When his sorcerous powers manifested, he soon turned them into reflections of his vast, engaging imagination. Maybe he sets up plays during downtime or uses small illusions to help the party's pre-battle plans.
