Wearing equipment with the invisibility ego grants you the Evoke Invisibility ability, allowing you to turn invisible at will. It requires a decently high Evocations skill to use reliably or for a long duration. No matter if you actually turn invisible, your maximum hitpoints will be temporarily drained.
The invisibility ego can be found on:
- Scarves
- The artefact ring of Shadows
- Randomly generated artefacts
Desirability
Invisibility is a decent ego, giving the wearer the ability to turn invisible without needing to use up a rare potion. Being invisible grants many strong bonuses, such as greatly decreased enemy to-hit, an increased chance for enemies to forget about you or fail to notice you entirely, and the ability to get low-tier stabs.
However, the Evocations investment required for reliable use and fairly heavy drain discourage using it until you start facing more monsters who can see invisible. Players can try evoking with low skill, but risk getting drained with no benefit.
Success rate rises with Evocations skill:
| Evocations | Failure rate(%) |
| 0 | 71.47% |
| 1 | 67.43% |
| 3 | 58.88% |
| 5 | 50.00% |
| 7 | 41.12% |
| 10 | 28.53% |
| 15 | 12.31% |
| 20 | 3.71% |
| 25 | 0.49% |
| 27 | 0.11% |
History
- Prior to 0.26, evoking invisibility caused hunger instead of draining you.
- Prior to 0.25, invisibility generated on cloaks instead of scarves.
- Prior to 0.21, removing an invisibility-ego item while invisible did not cost the player extra magical contamination.
- Prior to 0.20, this ego would let the player turn visible again once invisible, as a way to reduce contamination.
- Prior to 0.18, this ego could be found on rings.
- Prior to 0.16, this was called the Darkness ego.
