invisibility potion

Drink, then disappear

A magical concoction that renders the drinker unseen, common in fantasy games, fiction, and folklore.

The concept appears across genres from Harry Potter to Dungeons & Dragons to video games like Minecraft: I chugged an invisibility potion and snuck past the guards.

The term sometimes appears figuratively for anything that helps someone go unnoticed: Social awkwardness is my invisibility potion at parties.
