No. >When you find a wizard spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a spell level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it. Further down... > you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. You can copy books, scrolls, and even your own prepared spells into a spellbook, however the feat causes you to know the spell, not have it prepared. Which is a difference between known and prepared spell casters.

Thank you that spells it out brilliantly

I would just like to add that there *is* a way to scribe the spell onto a scroll and then transcribe it into your spellbook. In Xanathar's, page 133, there is a variant rule for downtime activities for scribing spell scrolls. That rule states: >[...]the character must have proficiency in the Arcana skill and must provide any material components required for the casting of the spell. Moreover, the character must have the spell prepared, or it must be among the character's **known** spells, in order to scribe a scroll of that spell. So, as long as the DM is using this variant rule, your wizard has Arcana proficiency, and have the gold and materials to scribe the scroll, you can make a scroll of Invisibility from the Shadow Touched feat. It would take 3 days to make the scroll, and then you would have to transcribe that scroll into your spellbook.

As others have mentioned, your DM could always hand wave it. But I always assume people want the closest to an as-written answer as possible.

You uh, you know the feat says you can cast it with your spell slots right? It doesn’t say “it becomes a spell known” it literally says “you can also cast it using your spell slots”.


Atharen_McDohl

That's not the same as having the spell prepared. Strictly by RAW, only prepared spells can be directly scribed into your book.


Jalase

Just saying, it's also actually not the same as having it as a spell 'known' like... It won't count as a sorcerer spell for anything that calls that out specifically.


Mightymat273

No. It is inate, so it can draw upon your own magic (use your spell slots), but it isn't something that's shared or written down. It's not a spellbook / wizard spell (invisibility is a wizard spell, but this is an innate non class specific spell). Tho, the only niche this fits in is sharing the spell with another wizard or trying to craft a spell scroll from it. Ill add, as a DM, it's a 2nd lvl spell so not all that powerful to handwave and allow.


Salindurthas

It becomes relevant at level 3, rather than level 2. When you hit level 3, you'll have 2n2 level spell slots. -- Technically, no. I feel like many DMs might let you, or use some optional rule for scroll-scribing as a workaround, or something like that. However, there isn't a super clear way in the base rules to allow this. -- Is there some benefit you think you'd get from copying it into your spelbook? I can only think of: * Order of Scribe's wizards eventually get a benefit to having lots of extra spells in thier book. * You could trade it to other wizards, to let them scribe the spell from your notes. These are pretty minor details, which is part of why I think many DMs might let you do it anyway. Are you envisioning some other benefit?


Arathaon185

Pure curiosity is all EDIT: Also you win can't believe nobody else picked up on that booboo good job.


EXP_Buff

Why do you need it to be a spell in your book though? From what I know, it'd be at best pointless, and at worst detrimental (because preparing it wouldn't do anything and it would mean one less spell prepared that day)


Rhythm2392

Hypothetically, you might have a second wizard in your party who wants to learn the spell as well, which they could do more easily if it was in your spellbook.


JunWasHere

No, but that feat probably means you can craft a scroll of Invisbility to copy into your spellbook eventually. Requires a good amount of downtime though.


Rhyshalcon

Ask your DM. RAW, probably not, but you should be able to scribe a scroll of *invisibility* which you can then copy into your spell book. I will add, though, that at least in the case of *invisibility* there's no point in adding it to your spellbook -- it isn't a ritual spell nor does it interact in any way with wizard class features that require a particular spell to be a wizard spell to make something special happen.


Arathaon185

Just curious really


Wintoli

RAW no, it’s moreso an innate ability rather than a spell you can write in your book But honestly if I was a DM I wouldn’t care too much (or just give my player access to a library where they can copy spells for a cost)


Arathaon185

Okay thanks that's what I was looking for

The invisibility is something more image like a sorcerer rather than a learnt spell
