Alchemy description: Invisibility for <dur> seconds.
Hide is functionally identical to the invisibility spell with two statistical differences.

• Hide is an apprentice spell (whereas invisibility is an expert spell) thus costing 33 magicka compared to invisibility's 295 magicka cost at 15 skill
• Hide lasts for half the duration of invisibility (15 seconds, whereas invisibility lasts 30 seconds)

Hide, like invisibility, will end if the caster:

• Activates an item (including: using levers and buttons, opening doors and containers, grabbing and stealing items).
• Uses a magical effect other than hide or invisibility (including spells, potions, and scrolls).
• Interacts with a character (including attack, pickpocket, and dialogue).

Notes

• Invisibility is not broken if hide is cast, as if recasting invisibility, and vice versa.
• Hide being an apprentice spell is significantly cheaper to cast than invisibility making it able to be cast by all races with their base magicka
• While the Ring of Khajiit must be equipped to cast hide, removing it once the spell has been cast will not break the invisibility, though it must be re-equipped to cast hide again.
