Ghost (shade?) ability allows you to attack and remain invisible.

This works because the game assumes that you don't have 2 abilities that give invisibility. Thus, it disables one of the invisibilities when attacking, but doesn't even check for another.

Fade 0.0 might mean that things shoot at you(without hitting though)

It works because the ghost unit of the undead was designed to never uncloak (only be revealed). It had no attack and was for scouting purposes only so there was no need for it to reveal itself ever. I think the ability cannot ever uncloak the unit. I am prety sure that in all maps where you get your units served to you by permanently invisible units that attack they are using this form of cloaking.

The ability is called "Ghost" and is used by the "Shade" unit. I have tested it and the unit never uncloaks (only can be revealed).

Actually ghost ability alone works like permanent invisibility. I think I've tested it.
