okay 2 ways i see of fixing this really easily. first you can just add a part to raw kill that when they move the char to the altar after they remove the affects it then adds an infravision spell to the character.

if you don't like the idea of gaining an affect upon death then do like with frost fingers and such and create a bit.
add a line like this to raw_kill
set_bit(BIT_INFRAVISION)

while (ch->form != FORM_GHOST)
remove bit(BIT_INFRAVISION)

or as i come to think about it you could also add to the can_see function a line like

if (ch->form == FORM_GHOST && (!AFF_BY(gsn_blind) && !AFF_BY(blah blah blah))
{
return true;
}

hope this helps a bit

Follow Ups:

• Get infravision - through spell or race - and you will find out that you cannot see objects in the room with infravision unless there is another source of light. (n/t) Ahem 21:17:23 7/21/2000 (0)
