I'd argue you can 'see' the wall if you place something on it, like:

  • your hand
  • your frontline's hand (or some other body part)
  • a ghost's hand
  • flour, dust, tar, enemies' blood, coughing syrup, and other things that could stick to the surface
  • gecko, spider, and other creatures that wouldn't fall off; probably also your familiar; dhampir and a high level monk should work, too

I’d argue that RAW the wall is still invisible. You now just have the means to pinpoint it's location.

By that logic you can see air because there's clouds in the sky.

Son of a bitch, that's a good argument.

  • Detect magic.

Nope

Technically it only refers to visible creatures. Objects doesnt have the adjective visible.

Unlikely, but a particularly bull headed person could read this as though detect magic could identify invisible objects.

I'm kinda surprised how vague many of the DnD rules are written.

Didn't they have a rules lawyer at hand when writing these?

I've specifically focused on means that don't require a spell slot to use. Left familiar as an exception because people like to have them anyway and it can be ritual cast.
