Nonono, you aren't physically changing yourself! That'd be Alter Self, or maybe Polymorph. Those spells are level... two and three, I think? I don't know them yet.
[ Angus crouches down, and starts to scratch stick figures into the dirt with the tip of his wand to illustrate his talking points. ]
Anyway, Disguise Self works the same way as Minor Illusion, but instead of forming an illusion that appears in front of you, you form it around you. Think of it as... putting on a big coat and a pair of Fantasy Groucho Marx glasses, I guess? Figuratively speaking, of course. It's like a really big illusion that you're wearing like a costume.
[ He aims the wand at his chest and casts the spell as clearly and slowly as he can, turning himself into a smaller version of Magnus. His form is a bit wobbly around the edges, but the bulk of it stays steady as he mentally reviews this whole situation. By now, Angus has pretty much ruled out temporal anomalies and mindflayers, and the last thing he can remember is going to sleep in his own bed, which means that whatever's happening now isn't real, and... probably won't have any legit consequences. ]
... If you want, you can temporarily borrow the wand to try out the spell, but you have to give it back, ok? I can help you get wands in the next town.
[ He doesn't realize it, but Angus is giving Taako his best Serious Look, the one that makes him look like a disapproving librarian. It looks hilariously out of place on Magnus's face, and it absolutely doesn't match the squeaky 11-year-old-boy voice coming out of his mouth. ]
