Fix invisibility & improved invisibility

This won't mean to much for baldur's gate 1 but it is of significant importance for the sequel.

I always found it odd how you can't cast a spell on somebody just because they're invisible despite the fact that your character could either guess or know their location some other way (loud breathing noises anyone?). It also introduces a problem with creatures that can see through invisibility. Why couldn't a creature that can see through invisibility (naturally or not) cast a spell or take an offensive action against you without casting true sight/seeing. Also, when under the affects of improved invisibility, casting any long and loud spell doesn't remove your invisibility but magic missile does? I would like the devs to fix this small problem that ruins my suspension of disbelief and also make improved invisibility keep you invisible even after your first offensive action & allow creatures that can see through invisibility to still take action against without the need of dispelling invisibility first.

    interesting, I always had to nuke the invisible enemies with area-of-effect spells such as fireball as I couldn't target them with other spells. As it turns out, some enemies nuked me when they were still invisible -_-

    Actually any creature who can innately "see invisibility" (such as certain powerful demons) can cast spells and take offensive actions against an invisible opponent without casting TS.

    Pretty much all harmful spells break invisibility, if they don't it's a bug, and will almost surely be fixed.

    That would make Improved Invisibility hugely overpowered against any class/creature who cannot see invisibility.
