heroiccthulhu.proboards.com/thread/4541/tech-magic-machine-invisibilityMachine Video 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 detected by video cameras, electronic sensors, or other high-tech detection devices that rely on visual information. The creature/object is also 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 visually 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. 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. 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). While machine invisibility is useful for many tasks requiring stealth, it sometimes makes the subject’s life more difficult. You may be accused of being a vampire or someone might attempt to back a truck over you when you fail to appear in their reverse camera.

Going off from Logan's suggestion in another thread, how about splitting this particular spell into another 2 branches – partial and full invisibility?
Partial means they can still see you but cannot make out any distinguishing features. You appear to be "fuzzy" or "blurry" and anyone trying to identify you in such a way is at a quarter/-60?
Full is as it is now.

I'm thinking all the spells should be partial inviso - blurry fuzzy. Not necessarily identifiable but if a human is monitoring stuff they see it. If just the machine is monitoring it, it will be fooled.

If just the machine is monitoring it, it will be fooled. Well, that would be big change to what I've proposed. ... That was actually my idea for the tenth spell if we were going to make this its own tree. "The Bigfoot Effect". A shorter term combo of all the machine invis effects, but you are merely blurry/fuzzy/unidentifiable instead of invisible.

Yes.
