	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 [[drain]]ed. Turning invisible will also cause [[magic contamination]]. (See the [[Invisible]] article for details.)		Wearing equipment with the '''invisibility ego''' grants you the Evoke Invisibility [[ability]], allowing you to turn [[invisible]] at will. It has a chance of failure, based on your [[Evocations]] skill.

			Regardless of whether you fail or succeed, your max HP is temporarily [[drain]]ed (~8% max HP). Successfully evoking invisibility will cause minor [[magical contamination]].
