Where ever it is that the rules discus casting spells using mirrors
it says that spells travel along a straight line frome the caster to
his target, not from the caster to the mirror to the target. That
implies that spells travel in a straight line.

If someone jumped between the mage and his target I would rule that
it would either break the mages LOS (he couldn't see the target so he
couldn't cast the spell) or cover modifiers would be applied to the
mage's target number. Because the mage does sync the spell with his
target, and if he can't see the target he can't sync the spell (can't
cast the spell).
