First of all, please insert some line breaks, at least SOMETIMES. Thanx.
Then: SRII, p.153: "Clairvoyance: [snip]A magician cannot cast spells at a
target seen using the claivoyance spell."
SRII, p.139: "A spell cannot normally be cast from the astral to mundane
space, or vice versa. These two different realms are seperated by an interface
that can only be crossed under specific circumstances and criteria.
Spellcasting is not one of them."
SRII, p. 130: "Spell Targeting: In choosing a target or targets, the magician
can choose anything within sight. Sight is the key concept. Magicians cannot
directly affect what they cannot see. [...] A magician cannot, however, cast
spells directly at [...] beings in astral space [...]."
Clairvoyance is a mana spell, so there's no physical component to it. Nor is
it mentioned there's ANY chance to notice one's watched, but that may your GM
handle at his will.
But since there's just the spell "present" at the enemies location, there is
no way the combat spell's effects carry over to you (see p.139 and 130 and
153, quite self explaining I think).
Well... more questions (I knew the knowledge from the grounding discussion
would be helpful sometime :-)
