Invisibility (Recharge 6) The bruxa gains invisibility, has advantage when dealing melee attacks while invisible, and attacking doesn't break the invisibility. However taking damage ends the effect immediatly.

Bruxa are tricky creatures that like to use illusion, as well as their speed to their advantage. Often times they will run away to turn invisible where you can't see them, and run back while invisible, attacking you while they are invisible. It is advised to keep Moon Dust on your person at all times.
