Actually, the invisibility spell in my games creates a "blind spot" for
anybody looking at that person.  You don't see anything there, but you don't
know you are missing anything.  You know the door is there because you can
see parts of the door around the person, or you saw it before the person
moved there.  You mind will fill in the details that you are not "seeing."
