    Does this mean that creatures with magic resistance also get a chance to
see someone who is invisible?  With this interpretation of invisibility, it
seems as though the spell affects the minds of the people who look, so magic
resistance should apply.  Personally, I run invisibility as though it really
makes people invisible.  It's more reasonable to think that a second level
spell with a duration like invisibility works that way than to think that it
affects everyone who looks in your direction from any range with no saving
throw.
