Doungim Lore
School Fit
Invisibility is Illusion — the school of false perception. The targeted willing creature becomes invisible for up to 1 hour or until they attack or cast a spell. Concentration; touch; one ally per slot level above 2.
Class Fit
- Bard: Bards prep Invisibility at level 3 for infiltration encounters. The 'until attack' rider limits combat use to one-shot disengage moves.
- Sorcerer: Sorcerers take Invisibility for builds focused on stealth approaches. Twinned Spell pairs cleanly — two willing creatures both invisible from one slot.
- Warlock: Warlocks add Invisibility at level 3 onwards. Pact Magic at the highest slot means upcasting comes free — every Invisibility cast covers more allies as the Warlock levels.
- Wizard: Wizards add Invisibility to the spellbook at level 3 and prep it for any campaign with social or infiltration arcs.
