Wondrous item, very rare (major)

This plain-looking leather-bound book is titled A Collected History of Accounting - Volume III. However, opening the book to the front page reveals the book's true title, Some Observations on the Art of Invisibility by Lord Winstanleigh Greville-Pipe. The book contains colored illustrations of various animals such as tigers, zebras, and crocodiles in natural locales. These images are charged with magic, and if you spend 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer studying the book's contents and experimenting with its theories, you gain the following benefits:

  • You gain proficiency in the Stealth skill. If you already have proficiency, you may add double your proficiency bonus to Stealth checks. This doesn't stack with a feature like expertise.
  • You learn how to create and use patterns to hide in plain sight. You can spend 1 hour of work and 15 gp worth of dyes to modify a cloak or set of clothes for a specific environment (artic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, urban, or Underdark). While wearing this modified equipment in the matching environment, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide and can hide even when a creature would be able to see you. If you succeed on the check, you become invisible as long as you are hiding. This invisibility is completely nonmagical and cannot be bypassed by see invisibility or truesight.

Once you do so, the book loses its magic, but regains it in a century.
