Zapping a wand of make invisible makes the target monster invisible. If you zap it at yourself, you become permanently invisible instead. Zapping the wand downward on a square with an engraving will make the engraving disappear.

In SLASH'EM, wands of make invisible can also make objects invisible. This simplifies the process of identifying the wand.

The invisibility can be circumvented by wearing a mummy wrapping.

Generation

Wands comprise 4% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 6% in containers, 5% on the Rogue level, and 8% in Gehennom. There is a 4.5% chance that a randomly-generated wand will be a wand of make invisible.

Strategy

Avoid making yourself invisible if you still need to enter shops and do not yet have a non-cursed mummy wrapping, means of jumping, controlled teleport or some other method. An exception is perhaps if you get a fresh stalker corpse in order to get permanent invisibility and see invisible.

After a player is permanently invisible, this wand normally has little use. In particular, making your non-steed pets invisible does not give them a combat advantage.

A pacifist is usually on a rather low experience level rather long and will see lots of floating eyes, so this wand can help avoid pets frozen by their gaze (if they cannot see invisible, that is).
