Yuan-ti Mage on 2nd floor of D'Arnise Keep - Minor Globe of Invulnerability - apparent bug

[Lemernis]

The Yaun-ti mage on 2nd floor of D'Arnise Keep casts Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Protection for Normal Missiles, and Mirror Image.

 

I had Kesley repeatedly cast Breach on him, but to no avail. The feeback scroll says "Kelsey - Spell cancelled: Cannot target spells on invisible or sanctuaried creatures." Breach is a level 5 spell that should penetrate either a minor of full globe of invulnerability.

 

I have the Smarter Mages component installed.

 

Here's my SCS II install:

Is it using Improved Invisibility at any time in the fight? Yuan-Ti do that fairly often, iirc.

Sounds like the Yaun-ti is Improved Invisible, and therefore it's not possible to directly target it with spells. The is standard behaviour in the vanilla game.

Okies, thanks.
