Septha is an illusionist, not only in the sense of making objects look like something else but to make people see things that really aren't there at all. I've always set it that Septha requires concentration in order to produce large scale illusions, such as a giant goobbue, and that distracting her in any manner would break that illusion. Yes, hitting her or breaking her focus in other means will break that illusion. 

I would like to say the same for glamours themselves. You can turn armour into a dress, but the sound will be there and simply whacking the armour is of course going to damage the image if not outright destroy the illusion itself. In the case of an Au Ra glamouring, I would see some restrictions. First, they cannot be a tall as hell Au Ra male and glamour into a lalafell as logically (oh no I said the L word) showing something smaller means the larger hidden object is going to be like an invisible wall. They would still sound as smell the same as well, since a glamour is only a visual thing. If the Au Ra isn't all familiar with Eorzean culture they would also look and act odd, referencing the odd glamour people you dispel during the Sylph Beast Tribe quests.

In short, glamours are not flawless like people think they are. It's merely a visual appearance that really is easy to break considering how little effort is used to hold that image (prism, tiny bits of magic with little channeling).

As for the Dravanians, I thinks that's polymorphing and not glamours if we're talking about those heretics that turn into dragons and shit like that. They're legitimately casting to shed off their "skin" and become something else that's tangible and dangerous.
