Just in case you were wanting additional confirmation this was never fixed in era, I found that below.

Quivering Veil of Xarn - please remove the illusion effect of this spell, then it would stack with our lich line and not conflict with illusion effects we might have up. It is not much of an emergency spell if I have to check to see if anything is going to block it. Until the illusion is removed it will never be as usefull as our 20th lvl Harm Shield.

Illusion spells cannot be overwritten, which is why Veil of Xarn will not overwrite Lich form spells. While I understand the desire to make it simple to use this spell, in the long run it's those that can use their spells the best that make the best casters.

Posts were dated 1/22/2002. Also note that it is not entirely correct that illusion spells cannot be overwritten, Fear spells should be overwriting illusions (another bug report that was submitted).

Edit: found the actual patch where the illusion was removed from Quivering Veil of Xarn to fix stacking issues, it was the 2/13/2002 patch:

I have it on good authority that we missed mentioning the following in the patch message:
* Try Levant at high noon - You'll like it.
* QVoX had the illusion removed to fix stacking issue.

Just in case you don't know about it already.
