* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has ''more'' than one invisibility spell, and yes, invisibility is ''awesome''. The previous edition Invisibility spell allows invisibility until the invisible person attacks—presumably only for game balance, as most invisible persons outside of D&D can attack and stay invisible. Of course, now, not only is the former second level AD&D spell a ''16th'' level spell in D&D 4e, it's been suitably [http://dnd4.com/dd-4th-edition-wizard-spells nerfed].

* Both ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' and [[Vampire: The Requiem]] feature the Obfuscate Discipline, which is a form of mental invisibility or camouflage—it causes others to ignore your presence, or think that you're somebody else. Needless to say, it's a common feature of the [[Looks Like Orlok|Nosferatu]].

* ''[[Second Sight]]'' has multiple characters who use the mind-clouding variant, [[Visible Invisibility|represented as transparency]]. Security cameras ignore it, and it can't be activated if someone's already looking at the user ([[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|unless that someone is you, anyways]].) It also malfunctions if the user gets too close to someone else, and odd things can happen if someone sees footprints forming without anything visible to form them.
