Which college for hypnotic invisibility?
As it says. By hypnotic invisibility, I mean the power of the Shadow “to cloud men’s minds so they cannot see him.” I’m wavering between Illusion and Mind Control

I would say it strongly leans towards mind control.

Re: Which college for hypnotic invisibility?
The standard GURPS magic system college is Illusion and Creation for a reason. Its illusions are real physical things, they're visible from infinitely far away, block light from behind them (and thus cast real shadows), visible to any light detector whether it has a mind or not, etc. They have nothing at all to do with men's minds. Some other magic systems are more ambiguous, but generally it is so much harder to adjudicate what a mental illusion can or cannot do than a mental one that most systems lean against it - for example if you are targeting a mind, why would there be any limits on how big the illusion could be or how far away it appears?

I agree this is Mind Control, as unlike an Illusion, it would not work against a target without a mind.

Starting from first principles, I would argue that you could get a bonus for a distant illusion, since flaws are concealed by diminution.
