I could *almost* buy this as an excuse.

But not this one. Perhaps if the collective group would simply change the
name around and into "transparency" and then remember that in SR3 the
"aura"
argument has apparently been tossed out the proverbial door. And no, the
spell is *not* replacing the wall (using the above example) with an illusion
of whatever is behind it. It is rendering said wall "transparent" or
"invisible". Its not the same thing as the "illusion of a mirror so I can
see around the corner" discussion.
