Vanish allows a rogue to disappear from sight, entering an improved stealth mode for 3 seconds even while in combat. During that time damage and harmful effects will not break stealth, but they will still afflict the rogue. Once the Vanish buff has worn off, the rogue will still be in standard 
[Stealth]. Upon being cast, Vanish also breaks any movement impairing effects. Vanish can be learned at level 24 for 48
45
