heroiccthulhu.proboards.com/thread/4541/tech-magic-machine-invisibilityMachine Thermographic Invisibility Range: 2m Casting Time: 1 Round MP Cost: 2 Duration: 1 hour The creature or object (up to a 3m cube) touched cannot be seen/imaged by machines, electronic sensors, or other high-tech detection devices that use thermography or thermometers. The creature/object is also thermally invisible to mechanical construct type creatures. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, the gear is likewise undetectable. Items dropped or put down by an affected creature become thermally detectable to machine sensors. Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 3m from it becomes detectable, such as a trailing rope. Visible spectrum light is unaffected, even if it is being given off by a heat source. While machine "invisibility" is useful for many tasks requiring stealth, it sometimes makes the subject’s life more difficult.

I'm assuming that when a sensor tries to "see" you, it just sees the same thermographic imagery as the "surrounding area"? As in, it doesn't just see a black void? So it's more of a camouflage kind of thing?

Good question.
I'm thinking that (for all of the anti-machine stuff) part of their thing should be that these spells are ONLY good against machines in the same way a wavy line through a name messes with computers.
It would be interesting (and better) if the players were picked up as a distortion that facial recognition/computers/etc doesn't 'get' however if someone is watching say a monitor they will think there is something up. In that way:
a) One spell doesn't do everything b) these spells don't replace people with the exact skills needed 'spoofing' the cameras and so on.

So it's more of a camouflage kind of thing? Invisibility implies that it sees through you. We wouldn't assume that it shows a black outline of a person for video invisibility, right?
