Wellllll... not sure here </divert flame on> but afaik Invisibility and
all its cousins bend light around the subject to make it appear
invisible. The subject and the targets depend on the spell, but all the
spells have this in common: they bend light. Thus they work against IR &
laser sights, but since Ultrasound is NOT light <grin> I wouldn't rule
that any invisibility spell would work against it. Of course, you could
use a Silence spell (or similar) to great effect there...
