Changing the emission spectrum of the human body

Let's say I'm a superhero or a magic space-wizard with the ability to change the color of any object I touch i.e. change what wavelengths of light it emits. If I want to become invisible, I could then theoretically reduce my body's emission spectrum to emit either mostly wavelengths of light invisible to humans (like water) or no light at all. Or, if I wanted to use this power offensively, I could touch a person's skin and raise their emissivity to something in the realm of vantablack, essentially making their bodies absorb 99.9% of all the light that hits them, causing them to rapidly die of heat stroke.

My question is, in both of these examples, what negative effects, if any, could changing the "color" of a human body to almost total transparency or total absorption cause? Would turning your internal organs invisible to match your invisible skin interfere with any biological processes necessary to life? Could changing the color of a person's skin to something drastically outside the normal range (using magic mind you, not chemicals or gene therapy) poison or harm them?
