Oblivion Remastered: Invisibility Spell & Chameleon Guide

Being invisible in Oblivion Remastered isn’t just a party trick—it’s a way to rob, sneak, and escape without anyone noticing. If you're going full stealth or just want to avoid an awkward fight, here’s how to get your hands on invisibility and Chameleon magic.
The Difference Between Invisibility and Chameleon
Invisibility: Makes you completely invisible but breaks the moment you interact with anything—attack, open a door, or pick something up, and you're visible again.
Chameleon: Reduces how visible you are by a percentage. At 100% Chameleon, you're basically invisible—but actions won’t break the effect.
For long-term sneaking, Chameleon is the better choice. But both spells have their uses.
Where to Get Invisibility Spells
You’ll find basic Invisibility spells from Illusion trainers and Mages Guild vendors once your Illusion skill is high enough (around 50+). Some key places to check:
Delphine Jend in Bravil Mages Guild
Calindil at Mystic Emporium in the Imperial City
Any high-level Illusion spell vendor
If you prefer crafting your own, join the Mages Guild and use a Spellmaking Altar to design a custom Invisibility spell tailored to your Magicka pool.
How to Get Chameleon Effects
You won’t find a basic "Chameleon spell" in shops like you would Invisibility. Instead, you’ll need to get creative:
Enchant Gear: Use an Altar of Enchanting to add Chameleon to armor and jewelry. With Grand Soul Gems, you can hit 100% Chameleon by enchanting five items at 20% each.
Sigil Stones: Close Oblivion Gates and hope for a Chameleon Sigil Stone. These can give up to 30% Chameleon—stack a few and you're set.
Unique Items:
Ring of Khajiiti (35% Chameleon) – Reward from Meridia’s Daedric quest.
Ring of Lordship – Up to 32% Chameleon, depending on level.
Potions: Master-level Alchemy can brew Chameleon potions with about 40% effect lasting over two minutes.
Custom Spells: At 75 Illusion, you can craft a high-level Chameleon spell. Just beware—the higher the percentage and duration, the more Magicka it drains.
Quick Tips for Stealth Builds
Combine Chameleon gear with short-term Invisibility spells for tricky situations.
Use Soul Trap enchanted weapons to easily fill Soul Gems for your Chameleon gear.
Save before grabbing Sigil Stones—reload until you get Chameleon.
Final Blurb
Invisibility is great for quick getaways, but Chameleon turns you into a ghost that never leaves. Whether you’re pickpocketing guards or strolling through a bandit camp like you own the place, stacking Chameleon effects is the way to go. Just remember—being unseen doesn’t mean immune. Swinging a sword still gets messy.
