Yes I do know exactly how my computer works, I have read circuit diagrams
since 1972. Also I can follow circuit pathways on and off chip. By the way
my CRT only has 10,400 volts, I know because I have repaired it. My current
occupation is BioMedical Electronics Technician II. I fix hospital equipment
from coffee makers to MRI's. I also build computers for my hospital. I
understand technology and have for decades.

By the way you can reach FASA.Support at FASA@*****.geis.com I belive. The
ruling by them is that invisiblity effects eyesight, and cybereyes (you paid
essence for it). But that is because it a normally a mana based test.
Improved invisiblity effects both of the above, ultrasound, radar motion
dectors and vehicle grade sensors. That is due to it is physcial based test.
But You must remember that the successes from the casting of the spell only
adds to target number to be seen/detected. So technically it does not make
you truly transparent but people/things do not have good chance to notice
you. You might call it a "ignore me" type of spell, so in this light the
physics of what it does/does not do to light is moot.
