Project 1999 - Spells: Invisibility versus Undead cast by ENC

Hello,

I'm a 19 Dark Elf ENC. Today in unrest, I tried to cast my level 16 spell "Invisibility versus Undead" on a friend (later: <friend>), who conned yellow to me. The spell didn't stick on him, and it kept saying "You try to cast a spell on Epicentre, but they are protected."

I am Epicentre, <friend> was my target, but I just got that message saying that I am protected. I checked if the spell was self only, but it clearly should be a targetted one (red spell icon on standard skin).

Also the spell just worked fine when I tried to IVU myself, with me targeted. He removed all his buffs just to see if something could block it.

I tried casting IVU on someone else, running by us, and I got the same message.
