For whatever reason, whenever the question of "invisibility" comes up, I
always skim the replies and comments and just see if anyone can get the joke
to this.
"LOS" means uninterrupted LOS by any object with perceptual ability with
"Line Of Sight". It is a physical spell (Improved Version is anyway) and
thus can "make invisible" from any individuals visual perceptions. This
includes cameras, drones, etc.... It does not stop the sensors on a drone
from picking up the sound of footsteps (remember, we're dealing with
integrated sensor systems, not sensory types). It also means that although
another character may put a bag over his/her head in order to "stop their
LOS between them and the caster", it does not mean that the individual is
not effected. All related visual perception ranges are influenced by the
spell. If it isn't visually related, then it isn't effected.
Hence, the magician *can* make a bag invisible using either variation on
this spell, and the bag will become invisible to anyone who then may have a
*chance* to perceive it (penetrate the illusion).
It does *not* mean that the caster is trying to cast the spell upon all
individuals that are in his/her Line of Sight (images of games with mages
trying to turn whole neighborhoods invisible come to mind) in order to make
them *not perceive* something. In this case, this is more akin to the
Disregard spell than the invisibility spell(s).
