 ===xNetHack===
-In [[xNetHack]], the spellbook of invisibility is no longer randomly generated, but can still be written or wished for. It is now a level 1 escape spell, making it far easier to write and cast, and permanent invisibility is also no longer available as an intrinsic (though extrinsic sources are unchanged). This gives the spell much more of a use case compared to vanilla ''NetHack''.
