Machine Invisibility
Range: 2m
Casting Time: 1 Round
MP Cost: 10
Duration: 1 hour
The creature or object (up to a 3m cube) touched cannot be detected by video cameras, electronic sensors, or other high-tech detection machines. The creature is also invisible to mechanical construct type creatures. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, the gear is likewise undetectable. The subject is missing from still photos taken while the spell is in effect, closed-circuit television monitors don’t display the subject, and other machines are likewise fooled. The creature or object touched can stand on a scale and doesn’t appear to weigh anything. Infrared and heat sensors detect only the ambient heat levels. X-ray machines don’t reveal the presence of an object with machine invisibility. Microphones don’t pick up sounds that the subject makes directly, although they will pick up sounds that subject makes by interacting with the environment. A hidden microphone wouldn’t hear the subject’s voice but would record the sound of that creature throwing a brick through a window. Items dropped or put down by an affected creature become visible to machine detectors; items picked up disappear if tucked into clothing or a bag carried by the creature. Light never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect in a photograph or video image is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 3m from it becomes visible, such as a trailing rope.
While machine invisibility is useful for many tasks requiring stealth, it sometimes makes the subject’s life more difficult. A stoplight sensor under an intersection will not pick up a motorcycle with machine invisibility. Automatic sliding doors at the supermarket won’t open for the subject of machine invisibility. Talking on a phone or radio is impossible. Touch screens ignore you.
