The Spell Cloak of Darkness

The invocation spell Cloak of Darkness on page 200 of the Rifts Ultimate Edition.
So it looks like the spell is vitural invisibility in darkness only.
Kind of like the Spell Chameleon, only at night or in dark places.
Basically it says it is good for a -3 to strike defense.
Negated by infra-red/thermo vision but even then those who use it are -1 to strike.
Question #1:
For those without Thermo/Infra-red, are called shots possible or does this spell negate sniping?
Question #2:
Does it cast a shadow?
Specifically, if it has a shadow can the shadow be used to "Shadow Meld?"
Question #3:
Are vampires safe from the spell "Globe of Daylight" or actual sunlight within the 5 foot radius of the "Cloak of Darkness?"
Question #4:
Are those inside the spell "Cloak of Darkness" protected from the spell "Blinding Flash?"
Question #5:
Are light sources within the "Cloak of Darkness" concealed / limited to within the 5 foot radius?
Question #6:
Are energy rifle shoots at night made at -10 (assuming the virtual invisibility) again the spell caster clad in the Cloak of Darkness?
Question #7:
IF a party used mud or something to mask their bodyheat (NG steal suit, etc.) would it be enough to be "invisibile" at night / in the dark?
