Description

This spell creates a small handful of pixie dust that the caster can toss into the air. Anyone hit by the dust becomes invisible (the range of the dust is about 10 feet). Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature

detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature or his gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, until the wizard or recipient cancels it, until the recipient attacks any creature, or until 24 hours have passed. Thus the invisible being can walk around and cast defensive spells, but if he attacks, he immediately becomes visible, although the invisibility enables him to attack first.
