clairvoyance and while looking around with the spell, stumbled across an elf
hiding in the brush. Well, this elf noticed he was being watched, and then
ground a spell through the "eye", which caused my character much grief as
his explosive rounds cooked off. Anyway, my question is, did the GM act
appropriately? Was this action "legal"? I argued that I would have been able
to see the elf casting a spell and could drop the clairvoyance, he said no.

Ummm, maybe. Not sure on this, but at that point I believe it should have
reverted to a reaction test to see who was quicker, or maybe a perception
test even to notice taht he'd noticed you (unless it was obvious...).

That's just my opinion, though...
