As I progress through the game, I am starting to have trouble battling magic using opponents. I often get the message "cannot taget spells at santured or invisible creautres". It doesn't seem that they are invisible (as they are not semi-transparent or invisible. I thought this was the purpose of breach or dispell effects, but I am not allowed to taget they opponent with either of these spells either. Is this the use for the priest version of dispell (area effect). I am not sure exactly what spells my opponents are casting on themselves, but the tend to have the shimmering blue spere around them when this problem occurs.

Cast either Detect Invisibility or True Sight.

Proceed to blast them to Hell.

Could be any of a number of spells causing it. Best bet is to use Detect Invis or True Sight to overcome the problem. If you've got Keldorn in your group, he gets True Sight as an ability, which I've always found more useful than wasting a spell slot on it.

That's the result of improved invisibility. True sight, detect
invisibility, or oracle will solve that problem. That's one of
the benefits of that particular spell. Once you attack, you
become semi-visible. Dispel magic doesn't work.(I think).

I thought this was the purpose of breach or dispell effects, but I am not allowed to taget they opponent with either of these spells either. Is this the use for the priest version of dispell (area effect). I am not sure exactly what spells my opponents are casting on themselves, but the tend to have the shimmering blue spere around them when this problem occurs.

It depends on what kind of globe of invulnerability the mage
has cast on himself, in regards to dispelling it. A minor
globe can be dispelled with spell thrust, secret word, pierce
magic or shield, and ruby ray of reversal.

A globe of invunlenability can only be dispelled by pierce
magic/shield or ruby ray.



Hope that helps some.
