|NONONONO (annoying, isn't it?) look it up in SRII, page 156: the subject
|"becomes invisible to normal light. Thermogrpahic vision can still detect
|body heat" which means that anyone using thermographic vision (and, by
|extension of the "to normal light" clause) some kind of UV vision can
|still detect the target of the invisibility spell.

Actually, I think the reason Thermographic works is because it's not looking
for reflected light (which the invisibility spell bends) but emitted light,
as in body heat.....

I'd say UV shouldn't work.... Unless he's wearing something florescent which
might emit light when exposed....
