So, an interesting question has come up in my game. Mostly because I brought it up while designing a magical threat.

If you cast invisibility on a container, then place something inside, is the thing inside invisible?

Or can you see through the container normally to whatever has been placed inside after the spell was cast.


Think about it carefully. If the thing inside is invisible, casting invisibility on a sheet becomes the perfect way to hide a car or something in a car. Just wrap it in the sheet or cover the car in the tarp. If the thing inside is not invisible, we come to the topic of the thread. Invisible arms and armor. reloading might be a bitch, but melee weapons? Full combat armor at all times? It will probably get you in trouble if they mad scan you and find weapons they can't see. Ultrasound and radar get around this as well. There are plenty of ways to GM-screw someone who does this. But the question stands

Invisible car, or invisible armor?
