Okay, my thoughts (and yes, it has been a while since I last sent anything
out at all) ..

Invisibility does not work against technological devices because it only
exists within the person's mind.

A person with a cybereye can still be affected by an invisibility spell as
the spell is mana based.

Here is the kicker then. Some smart-ass decker reprograms his smartlink to
also have a visual component linked to the cybereye. The smartlink
programming is to recognize all objects in the line of sight of the viewer.
The decker choses that the smartlink is to query him on all targets that it
can see. He sets it so that he can turn this option off when he feels safe,
otherwise it is only a simple action for him to acknowledge to the smartlink
that the person is really there.

Now then, some unfortunate soul comes along with invisibility cast on them
happens to go after this decker, and decides to get him from in front of him
... although the decker may not be able to see person due to the spell, the
modified smartlink recognition programming does notice the individual and
does inform the decker that the person is there. When the decker takes a
second to notice if the person is there and sees nothing, then the guy under
the invisibility is in for one frag of a surprise.

What do you guys think?
