Notes

  • Invisibility applied from any source, regardless of spell power, has a duration of 16 to 56 turns.
  • Monsters will generally not use this ability unless you're in line of sight, so you will at least see them for a moment before they become invisible.
    • Do note that monsters may cast it when in sight of your allies (f.e. your undead minions rushing ahead of you). This can lead to an invisible spellcaster coming right at you, without giving you any hints about its presence until the first attack starts. While this may be a niche case, it is a rather deadly and unexpected one. There are also a few enemies which are inherently invisible and will never be seen, namely unseen horrors, ghost moths, and shadow wraiths.
