If I happen to make grammatical errors on any of my post, please do not hesitate to inform me with correct grammar.

As usually used, invoke is an active process by the agent:  'The witnesss invoked the 5th Amendment'.  Evoke is an inevitable concomitant of a quality:  'Train rides always evoke a sense of nostalgia in me'.

What do you mean by "agent" here? As in someone or something?

By 'the agent', I mean the subject of an active sentence, or the object of 'by' in a passive sentence.
