You have to be undead to take it, and after you do, you can see the glowing life force of living things. Living creatures glow like torches.

With this feat, a villain would be able to see an invisible creatures glow..... correct?

They'd be able to see the glow and know what square their target was in. They'd still have the 50% miss chance to hit though.

A running detect magic should accomplish the same thing.

Very true. It functions like normal light, which means you still wouldn't see the creature itself, just the light it gives off.

Good early detection system, but not an infallible targetting mechanism.

Also, a running detect magic might have similar results, but it arguably takes longer to do so, has a shorter range, and requires concentration. Arcane Sight is much better. :)
