The root words of Evocation and Invocation are "Evoke" and "Invoke".
In the context that I assume you're using them, such as fantasy writing, magic systems, or Dungeons and dragons, they are mostly interchangeable. However, "Evoker" is the more common term for a magic user that summons and manipulates magical effects.
While "Evocation" would be a school of magic that involves manipulating energy to produce effects that the caster wishes.
"Invocation" would more commonly be used to describe the verbal components a magic-user requires to use magic properly. A wizard "invokes" a spell which "evokes" an effect.
