Its under mind control as a Enhancement

Ok. I would definitely not use the enhancement value presented there if you were applying it to Invisibility. The reason for that is that Invisibility, by default, has a much larger limitation on it than Mind Control does - Invisibility is, if not completely wrecked, then at least made significantly less useful, if someone notices your presence or otherwise has reason to suspect you, while you're using it. Whereas, with Mind Control, while you're using it, the target, at least, can't do anything about it - they're mind controlled, after all! So, for Mind Control, the No Memory enhancement is basically about covering your tracks afterwards, meaning your target won't go after you immediately. But for Invisibility, as least as you seem to be suggesting, it would be covering your mistakes in being stealthy while you used it, and while people were in a position to do something immediate about it.

So, for these reasons, I'm going to suggest that a "No Memory" enhancement for Invisibility should be priced at something like +50%, and you could only get it when you've already put the Glamour limitation on Invisibility as well.

Frankly I think if you actually physically interact with someone you're making it excessively hard to entire ignore you.

I’m not disagreeing but one of the special effects is that it’s a mental “ignore me I’m not here”, therefore if the psi is walking through the room and bumps into someone (not causing any harm) then that person just continues to mentally ironed them. So how would you mimic this?
