Doungim Lore
School Fit
Greater Invisibility is Illusion's tier-2 upgrade of Invisibility — the same invisibility effect, but the target stays invisible even while attacking or casting spells. Concentration up to 1 minute; one target.
Class Fit
- Bard: Bards prep Greater Invisibility at level 7. The Rogue ally cast on round 1 keeps Sneak Attack triggering every turn for the spell's full duration — a canonical Bard + Rogue combo.
- Sorcerer: Sorcerers know Greater Invisibility as one of their permanent picks in builds focused on single-target buff support. The slot cost is high enough that most builds skip it in favor of Haste.
- Wizard: Wizards add Greater Invisibility at level 7. Illusion Wizards specifically benefit from features that scale the spell's effectiveness.
