The cap of darkness is a lesser version of the helm of Hades, which was forged for the god of the Underworld by greater cyclopes. This helm is made of dark iron, and completely covers the wearer’s head. Once the cap of darkness is donned, the wearer turns invisible. The lesser cap of darkness can be used for a total of three hours each day, and only one hour of invisibility is possible under the sunlit sky. If the wearer attacks anyone, the spell ends (as per the spell invisibility). The greater cap of darkness can be used four times per day, and the wearer will remain invisible for up to 5 minutes, but he may attack without becoming visible as per the spell greater invisibility.
