"Invisibility" IMO is too straightforward. Is it possible to rename this to "Now You See Me"?

Does an ability that make you invisible to some exotic senses (for example, The Empath can sense people through seeing their emotions, so damping your emotions makes you effectively invisible to their paranormal senses, but they can still see/hear you the "normal" ways) count as Invisibility?

Technically, "transparent" eyeballs make you blind, but "invisible" eyeballs may not. The light that pass through the eyeballs can technically be first absorbed, detected, then emitted again(by giving energy to do so) (secondary power) The same process can be done on the whole body, and this power can make the invisible creature/vehicle/being able to "see"(detect light) on all sides.

Of course, a fully invisible person whose retinas could somehow still detect light would also be blinded by how light would enter their eye from all directions, not just via the pupil. The sclera of the eye is opaque for good reason.

Moved the Larry Niven "Plateau Eyes" Literature example to Perception Filter where it belongs.
