When an effect says to discard invention cards, you choose which unbuilt inventions go, including character-specific ones. The designer says only that you choose; the rulebook does not say whether they are shuffled back, and some players reshuffle them, so treat this as a best reading. The Carpenter's New Idea discards are the exception: they form a pile that is reshuffled when the deck runs out.
