Summary

0012367: Ash reveals type of invisible monster by Scrying

Description

If I don't yet have the piety to see invisible and I scry, I can x over an invisible monster to be shown its type. However, the way it appears in the normal view (ie as a strange disturbance or not at all) doesn't change, it's not in Ctrl-x, etc.

This was also noted in commit 16eed42cc8a720a33f5819991986014a10c634af but since it's a bug it seems good to get it into Mantis.

I suggest the easiest way to fix this exploit would be for Scry to grant SInv, which would make all the "bigger, separate problem with scrying and invisibility" go away at once and seems thematically consistent for Ash.
