There were several other questions about invisibility. Such as:
*Would an invisible character counterspelling an enemy's spell count as makning an attack?
*Answer? Yes
*What about a targeted dispel magic?
*Answer? If targeted on a foe is a spell "Targeting a foe," so it would end the invisibility.
*Does casting flaming sphere in a non-offensive manner -- such as to start a campfire -- count as an attack?
*Answer: No. Actions directed at unattended objects wouldn't end an invisibility spell, even if the ensuing blaze included foes in its area.
*Does casting sanctuary end and invisibility because it requires a foe to resist its effect with a save through? What about wall of fire?
*Answer: No. Any spell that only causes harm indirectly (including causing harm due to another creature's actions, such as sanctuary) in not an attack, even if its effects can be resisted with a saving throw.
Other spells that can fall into this category include fire trap (since its harmful effect is triggered by a character opening the trapped item), Spiked stones (since its harmful effect is triggered by a character walking over it), and wall of fire (since its harmful effect is triggered by a character approaching within 20'.
Of course, even some of these spells may be able to be cast in such a way as to end an invisibility spell. If a wall of fire is cast within 20 feet of another creature, it immediately and directly causes harm to that creature, which would end invisibility.
*So to answer your question about lifting the keys off a person with mage hand, I believe the answer is yes, it would end invisibility because the Keys are on someone and therefore are considered an attended object.
