:If that still applies, how it would seem to work is that invisible is still a binary state but maybe with different "grades"? Because AFAIK the way it works is that the system just checks to see if you're invisible or not. It's definitely more complicated and encompassing than a straight up stealth bonus at any rate.

Invisibility non binary

"Invisibility is a binary state; either you are "invisible" or you aren't, and the power of your invisibility (i.e. the bonus to stealthy actions) does not scale with the potency of the ability or spell granting it." I'm pretty sure the second half of this statement is inaccurate at least as it applies to Moon Mage invisibility spells. More mana increases the effectiveness of invisibility's effect on stealth. I am less familiar with the other guild's invisibility spells, so I don't know where they stand.
