I think "insubstiality" and"phasing out"are asmidge beyond the
reach of
nomrmal spell magicin SR (I know your not going for full farie
"fading"). Aspell I have seen used (and abused) is a version of "mist
form" ;

Mist Form: Transformation Manipulation, Physical, Target #: 4, Range:
Touch, Duration: Sustained, Drain: [(F/2)+1]D
Transforms target and everything in contact with her aura into a fine
magical mist (target modifier to detect is +2). Mist form is
invulnerable to physical attack (treat as an armor rating equal to twice
spell force- but you loose normal armor!) but can be affected by spells.
The mist's
Quickness equals the successes. Target can cast spells and move at a
rate of Quickness X 2. Target can pass through any
crack or crevice that is not airtight, but is vulnerable to winds and
other air manipulations. If the misted person is sucked
into a fan or something similar, she takes no damage, but becomes
"disrupted" in a sense and must take a Combat Turn to
re-organize and reorient herself, during which she cannot take any
actions. A Complex Action
is used to shift back to normal form when the spell is dropped. If the
misted person is exposed to a substance to which
she is allergic, she will be forced to shift immediately back to
corporeal form.

Designed for/by Shetani, our personal partly cybered demon-mage, this
spell and others are in our house-faq. Using this spell WILL make
people think you are a vampire, especialy if you have implant fangs and
a vapire pawn buddy <g>.
