A man claiming to be a wizard offers to make you invisible for $500. You gladly accept and immediately go rob a bank, only to get caught because you are of course quite visible. But it turns out that the wizard was legit, he just forgot to mention when it will go into effect and for how long.

Harms Way
Words of a wizard.
I made a note in my head to never trust a wizard again. He had taken away my life, everything that I stood for was suddenly in the clutches of a metal chain. They took me away, questioned me endlessly until my tongue couldn’t speak a single word more. Desperate for water, I collapsed. Crashing to the concrete floor, my body left lifeless, untouched.
Seconds, maybe minutes, maybe hours passed, I couldn’t remember. The door left open in front of me was my only escape and I knew I had to leave this place. So I took my bags and left, leaving nothing behind. At first I was confused why no one stopped me, then I realised that the spell had actually worked.
