She's right on this. In my earlier reply I was only addressing your
question of whether you could've dropped your spell in time. Even if you
didn't drop it, the elf could've only attack or dispelled the spell.
Plus I would count the spell being cast and sustained on you and simply
extending your senses out through the area of effect, so there shouldn't
have been a spell for the hiding else to see or affect anyways. (Maybe
if he made to roll to notice spell casting, but that's still stretching
it in my opinion. Maybe also if he were astrally perceiving and somehow
with high T#'s detected the effects of the spell carrying your senses to
him as in detectiing a ritual link, by that's still a bit out there.)
