I have a question about invisibility, I know it's been done to death in
the past, and if this is an old discussion please point me to the log and I
will read it there.

I have a mage in a group who was captured along with his pals. The NPCs
being magic conscious, put a bag on his head, nothing special, just a nylon
camping bag.
He wanted to know if he could cast invisibility on the bag or perhaps
himself and thus be able to see through it.
Here's what I came up with, no. He has improved invis, which I ruled
warps light around the aura of the caster (or target). Thus he could be
invisible, but still could not see through the bag. Standard mental
invisibility wouldn't work since he would just see what he thought was on
the outside of the bag (since it only affects the viewer's perceptions not
the world).
However, I wasn't exactly sure how to answer his question of casting
invisibilty ON the bag. Would this work? I ruled no (would have wrecked my
plans), but couldn't come up with any real reason why it wouldn't. Any
ideas?
