			==Why they can be very powerful==
			Lately I always drop all of my ascension kit in a pile and zap it with the wand of make invisible. Bam, now all those nymphs and other item-stealers can suck it. :P --[[User:Bluescreenofdeath\|Bluescreenofdeath]] ([[User talk:Bluescreenofdeath\|talk]]) 11:03, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

	So what's the point, other than annoying starting characters? --[[User:Tjr\|Tjr]] 01:39, 20 April 2011 (UTC)		So what's the point, other than annoying starting characters? --[[User:Tjr\|Tjr]] 01:39, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
	:The use of having invisible items? I imagine that monsters that can't see invisible will not walk over to invisible items, so it could be used to keep weapons away from intelligent monsters. I recall seeing that the disarm technique fails if the opponent's weapon is invisible and you can't see invisible. The same might apply for bullwhips, and might apply for bullwhips wielded by an enemy. I don't know of any kind of combat advantage to making your equipment/weapons invisible - I suppose it would make sense for a weapon to have a to-hit bonus if the monster can't see it coming (harder to dodge), or maybe armor working better if the enemy can't see it to avoid it. A quick search is showing what I believe to be a +3 to hit bonus if your weapon can't be seen by the enemy. -- [[User:Qazmlpok\|Qazmlpok]] 02:35, 20 April 2011 (UTC)		:The use of having invisible items?

			::It also slightly helps with wand identification: for wands which cause engravings to vanish, you can more easily and safely identify them by zapping an item, whereas in vanilla that requires zapping a monster. -[[User:Ion frigate\|Ion frigate]] 09:05, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
