I thought AoE attacks weren't supposed to knock you out of hiding if they missed.

The messaging looks pretty odd on a Grim. Presumably thats a water elemental attack.

a) It appears as though the Grim cast minor water with an icepatch on the ground (assuming)
b) The spell targeted me even though I was hidden AND I stay hidden

Was it minor water or some goofy cone of minor water spell?

It's definitely normal to stay in hiding if a CS based AoE spell misses; I don't know off of the top of my head whether AS based ones like cone of lightning behave that way but I would guess (lol that's always bad idea!) that they would...
