"For all intents and purposes, the spell lock vanishes once it is place.
It is still there, and operating, but mundanes cannot see it, touch it,
or affect it." and "To normal sight, it is invisible."
No where does it say it no longer exists on the mundane plane.
Anyone not using astral sight cannot notice it that's all. For all
intensive purposes the spell lock is under the critter power Alienation.
I haven't forgotten any of that.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
