Don't focus on whether or not the Order would condone the action, but on the people involved. Not just the perpetrators, but also the victims. History is full of people no one cares about being abused, just keep it out of the front yard.

If you want to use invisibility against a Mage the best thing to do is just veil it with Forces, that way it doesn't ping PMS and has long as you don't give the other Mage a reason to suspect he won't try Active Mage Sight of any kind. You can only maintain the sight for minutes before it starts causing you stress so absent any other stimuli the Mage will most likely not be using it.

When you use Active Mage Sight what you are looking at are the Supernal Symbols that underline reality, so when someone uses Life to look at an invisible person what they see (if they 'see' at all, some might sense the Supernal as smells, tactile sensations or perhaps their secret weapon is PMS; Buffy) are the Supernal Symbols, not the actual person. It would be like seeing a person wearing a head to toe green suit like movies use for CGI. The Mage in question would see the symbols for a human, male or female, but he wouldn't see how old they are or be able to recognize that it's Bob from a...

A Consilium with maybe a dozen Mages?
There's a scene in the movie "Doc Hollywood" were the protagonist tracts down the city mayor and finds him having breakfast at a local café. At one point in the conversation the mayor says I'll have to run that by the city council, then he turns to the café at large and says "All in favor?", most of the other people also having breakfast say "Aye" and the mayor turns to the protagonist and happily announces that it passed.
That is how I picture a Consilium with only a handful of Mages being, very personal (notice...

My intended point was that Forces based Invisibility only protects against light based sight, it should do nothing to hide its subject from other forms of detection including the other Mage Sights. Mind should still be able to pinpoint and identify the mind and Life should still detect even an invisible life form.
This Forces spell only hides the subject from sight, or whatever other energy form it is tailored to, its only protection from Active Mage Sights that aren't Forces based is your unlikely to bother looking for what you don't know is there.
Forces sight would provoke a Clash...

"Literal Invisibility" just hides you from energy (such as light) based 'sight', it doesn't effect smell, hearing or any other type of sense.
What makes invisibility so powerful is humans being primarily 'sight' focused, most times we see something first and without a clue that something is there we don't usually try alternative senses.
This would make Forces based invisibility less effective against Werewolves than against Sleepers.

Possibly to follow Cthullu's example, how many stories begin with a mortal gaining a powerful relic that destroys his sanity?

The ghost of someone who died in that hospital after an accident, only they don't realize they are dead and they weren't the only one in the accident. Now they wander the halls trying to find out what happened to the other people in the car or whatever. They are mostly a nuisance ghosts, moving papers around, leaving doors open or closing them, that sort of thing. You resolve them by either proving that the person/s they are looking for died, or that they have already left the hospital and are living their lives.
