The mage would still be invisible. However, his light would still work. A
viewer wouldn't be able to see the mage or his flashlight, however they
would be able to see the circle of light on the ground/wall/whatever
created by the flashlight.

Not so old timer :)
If it's a physical manipulation spell then you run into all sorts of
problems. If the spell bends/wraps the light around the target how
does the target see?
Surely you've seen this come up enough on ShadowRN to know that there's no
good answer ;)
