Don't "shhh!" me, you rich bastard!
John Wick the Man must have loved the first half hour of John Wick the Movie, but lost interest once Keanu started making any progress.

Of all the Prince tributes I've seen this week, this is the most unexpected.

In fact, there should probably be a cinemancer spell that increases weapon effectiveness: grenades make giant propane popper explosions, large-caliber handguns throw people around knockback or can shoot through multiple assailants with Spielbergian overpenetration, body armor can stop anything with no blunt trauma, etc.

Cinemancy's domain covers illusions and artifice, so despite those being very real cinematic tropes their power level falls a bit outside of what they can do. (Though I suppose you could have a grenade that seemed to have a much larger explosion than it really did, or a grenade that throws people nearby without actually hurting them much.) The two gunfight spells Cinemancy does have rely a bit more on illusion than your examples: I'm The Guy With The Gun allows you to fire way more bullets than your gun can hold without reloading, so long as you never stop shooting, and Stormtrooper Combat Training makes all gunfire miss you--so long as it's fired by a mook. Anyone with "rank" is unaffected. Beat cops can't hit you, but a detective or a SWAT team will.
