That's partly right. You have to have LOS to the spell lock, and you have to
have LOS to all targets within range of the (combat-) spell to affect 'em. If
one's hidden, you can't affect him.
But as was said earlier, until the attacking magician had LOS to the spell
lock, he couldn't have cast a spell at it. Would he have been able to see the
magician, he could have shot/toasted him in any case. Were he astral
projecting, his meat body could not have been moving. Were he just perceiving,
he'd had LOS even when not perceiving (see above).
The GM has really botched this one, if all was as Tim explained.
