given it’s lack of damaging spells, i don’t think that would be needed.

Lack of damaging spells don't matter when you can mimick magic or literally anything so long as it doesnt defy belief and incapacitate your goes without even being detected until the end. 

Psychological damage is a thing. By that I mean, damage that the mind believes is real until proven otherwise. 

I think maybe 2 slots would be good? 3 kinda might seem a bit much. 20 or so spells in this regard would be good due to the psychological aspect of it, and the amount of things one may be able to do with it.

On paper that might make sense, but with rampant metagaming and powergaming that illusionists have to deal with, the magic isn’t as effective as it should be.
