Hmm... nice. :) I'd generalise it though... a "See Through Illusion" spell,
so you can get around things like Incubi as well. (Not a Dispell
Illusion... you'd still see it, but you'd also see the thing it's hiding.
So no, it wouldn't get around Chaotic World.)

Change Restricted Target to general target (it's still restricted, to
Illusion spells, but that's kind of broad), and you got it. :)
