Invisible is a status in Final Fantasy VI. A character with the invisible status will evade all physical attacks, even those that are unblockable, but they will never evade magic spells. Vanished characters can be inflicted with any status ailment, even if they are immune to it, provided the status is caused by a magic attack. This means the status negates status protection to death, leading to the infamous Vanish/Doom exploit. The bug was partially fixed in the game's Advance port.
This status also prevents the user from activating his/her Desperation Attack. The status persists outside of battle. When a party member has invisible, they appear as just an outline in battle, and have a question mark with a green hat in the menu. Invisible can be removed with anything the game considers magic. The exception to this is the enemy ability Northern Cross, which does not remove the invisible status when it fails to inflict frozen. Additionally, the Magic Evasion stat is reduced to zero, and spells such as Reflect and Shell lose their effects, even if given by equipment.
