__NOTOC__
'''Invisibility''' causes the caster to turn [[invisible]]. Powerful air wizards can hide an entire group from sight for a short period of time.


This spell causes the caster to turn invisible. It eliminates a passive character's presence from being noticed, short of spells such as [[Presence]], [[Sun Burst (609)|Sun Burst]], and [[Dispel Invisibility]]. Invisible characters will not be seen or heard when passing from room to room, though performing certain actions can give away their presence by producing sound or dispelling their invisibility. As a rule, any aggressive action will dispel one's invisibility, such as attacking, stealing, or casting offensive spells. Most defensive spells will not break invisibility, but mass spells, such as [[Mass Blur]] and [[Mass Elemental Defense]], do if they affect others.

Other actions can give away an invisible's character's presence by producing sound, causing items to disappear, or dispelling their invisibility all together. As a rule, an aggressive action will dispel one's invisibility, such as attacking, stealing, or casting offensive spells. Most defensive spells will not break invisibility.

While Invisibility sounds like it would be a powerful combat spell, that is not the case. Most creatures will find an invisible character with little to no effort. Player characters can detect invisible characters with [[Presence (402)]] or [[Sun Burst (609)]], and can reveal them with [[Dispel Invisibility (109)]].

Invisibility causes the caster to turn invisible. Powerful air wizards can hide an entire group from sight for a short period of time.

Invisibility eliminates a passive character's presence from being noticed. Invisible characters will not be seen or heard when passing from room to room, and most personal actions will go unnoticed. Other actions can give away an invisible's character's presence by producing sound, causing items to disappear, or dispelling their invisibility all together. As a rule, an aggressive action will dispel one's invisibility, such as attacking, stealing, or casting offensive spells. Most defensive spells will not break invisibility.

While Invisibility sounds like it would be a powerful combat spell, that is not the case. Most creatures will find an invisible character with little to no effort. Player characters can detect invisible characters with Presence (402) or Sun Burst (609), and can reveal them with Dispel Invisibility (109).

Usage

  • PREP 916 | CAST or INCANT 916 to cast this spell
  • PREP 916 | EVOKE to cast a group version

The verb UNHIDE will break invisibility.

Lore Benefit

50 ranks of Elemental Lore, Air will unlock a group version with a two-minute duration using EVOKE. Because invisible people struggle to follow each other around, this will cause the group to disband.
