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
clairvoyan

According to combat rules, a free action can be taken during any combat
phase of a combat turn even if it's a phase you're not eligable for
other actions on. You would also have to be eligable for the free
action, since you can't take one before your first action during a
combat, unless you had a held action rolling over(pg81 SRII.) Since I
rule that dropping a spell requires a free action, I'd say you could've
done it providing you made a roll to notice the spell casting and you
had a higher reaction than the elf.
