How to learn

Classes:

• Class Level 3: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard, and Circle of the Land (Grassland)

• Class Level 7: Arcane Trickster

• Class Level 8: Eldritch Knight

Granted by the following items:

• Shifting Corpus Ring ( Recharge: Long rest)
• Fetish of Callarduran Smoothhands ( Recharge: Long rest)
• Shadow of Menzoberranzan ( Recharge: Short rest)

Notes

• Shadow of Menzoberranzan  Shrouded in Shadow ability grants invisibility for 2 turns instead of 10.
• The Duergar racial version grants invisibility for an unlimited duration, but also offers no Stealth checks to allow the effect to continue after interacting with objects, pickpocketing, or attacking. It will always break immediately. This is likely to balance it having no cost, or any other limits to how often it can be cast outside of combat.
• Some actions can be performed without breaking invisibility, including
  • Non-attacking skills, such as Dash and Jump.
  • Using certain items, including potions.
• Invisibility has two incantations: Evanesco, Latin for "I disappear/vanish", and Invisiblis, Latin for "invisibility".

Bugs

• Only Greater Invisibility offers any Stealth checks to maintain the invisibility when it might otherwise break. Despite the tooltip claiming otherwise, the Level 2 Invisibility spell breaks immediately upon interaction with anything, except casting Minor Illusion and looting containers. It behaves exactly like the Duergar racial, which doesn't mention Stealth checks in its description.
