Invisibility is a level 5 psycast that renders it target invisible for a short duration.

Acquisition[edit]

There are two ways to acquire the psycast Invisibility:

  1. Upon reaching psylink level 5, a random psycast of level 5 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 5 psycast.
  2. Invisibility can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.
