I have a question to throw out there.

Its accepted that if someone is in a vehicle with tinted windows you cannot target them with a spell directly, there is no line of sight to the person.
Its the same in Augmentation for cyborgs as there is no line of sight to the organic component of the body to be able to target for mana spells.

How far can you take the principle of this. While i realise that power armor would be covered under the vehicle aspect would full body armor with a tinted visor and no Organic Components ( such as leather,rubber etc) be able to break line of sight?

I guess the real question is if someone in full inorganic body armor would be able to be targeted with a mana spell, as i would read it as a not able to target as a extrapolation of the augmentation page 160 targeting and magic portion.

I may well be reading it wrong or my interpretation faulty and the GM of the game will definatly make his ruling but he suggested throwing it out there for the opinions and comments.
