You can pick on a shards formation in the room even if you don't see it.

Well it might not be a bug as it's not a big deal... but this way you know about it :)

I think this falls under the same rubric as hidden entrances, and that this is an accepted fact of life, but perhaps it is time to revisit that. A check could be made when someone attempts to traverse a hidden passage or work an invisible formation: can you see me, or are you following someone who can?

Possible problems:
1) Can't get out of a hidden passage if lost from group (link lost, etc.)
2) You can't attack an invisible creature without some way of seeing them
...I'm sure there's more, help me out here!

If we think through the consequences and don't see major problems with making this sort of check, I can put it in as an enhancement suggestion. There are some consumable objects in game that would allow folks to see the unseeable in a pinch...and if we were to implement this, they would likely become an indispensable part of an adventurer's pack, just as a potion of recall.
