Summary 0012350: Searing Ray keeps lock on an invisible target
Description So I'm not sure if this is not an intended behavior, but it does feel off to me. I locked my Searing Ray on Erolcha, she went invisible, changed position to the side (I presume), and the Ray changed it angle. I didn't get the "invisible monster is probably somewhere here" icon so my character had no way of knowing she was there. Yet the Ray knows. It just knows.

 Suggest changing the searing ray homing function to (spl-damage.cc:2797):

if (mons && mons->alive() && mons->visible_to(&you))

It would continue to channel based on the monster's last known position but not track to the monster's new location if it moved after turning invisible. I have a patch ready to PR if someone is willing to confirm this is a proper adjustment.

 I made this change in 0.26-a0-596-g00aaa63842, in the future just send the PR for small things like this!
