So your assumption that LOS is required for every spell except Mystic Shock is wrong.

• Material objects between the caster and the target will not prevent a spell from reaching the target unless they block the magician's line of sight.

• Sight is not the only way of targeting a spell, though it is the most common.

• Any method that makes the magician certain of the target’s location allows the creation of the proper astral arc.

1. Need Line of Sight (or touch). Only Mystic Shock is an exception.
2. Not magic and magic objects between caster and target will prevent spells from working if there is no LoS. Only Mystic Shock is an exception.
3. The End

Astral Sense doesn't let you to see (LoS) only to sense magical things. And because you sense it not see it, and need Line of Sight to cast spell, it doesn't let you to cast spell on someone behind wall.

Material objects between the caster and the target will not prevent a spell from reaching the target unless they block the magician's line of sight. Targets receive a bonus to their Mystic Defense for cover to reflect the increased difficulty of targeting them successfully. If the Spelcasting test succeeds any physical manifestation that accompanies the spell avoids physical obstacles to strike the spells target.

Yes there maybe a wall physically between the wizard and the target but when the wizard has Astral Sense up, their field of perception is everything in a 30 yard radius. There is no physical wall visually between the wizard and the target when the wizard's perception includes both sides of the wall and the front and back of the target.

Dougansf:
The wizard can sense the wall as well, it's still there, the Wizard can simply Sense through it. Objects still provides cover to the target.

Baravakar: ↑
People keep ignoring that Astral Sense enhances Astral sight from LoS to a 30 yard radius.
Dougansf:
At no point is that being ignored. Technically it's changing Astral Sight from Rank x 10 yards to 30+ yard radius.

• spells travel in an astral arc between the caster and the target

• Any method that makes the magician certain of the target’s location allows the creation of the proper astral arc

• Material objects between the caster and the target will not prevent a spell from reaching the target unless they block the magician’s line of sight.

• If the Spellcasting test succeeds any physical manifestation that accompanies the spell avoids physical obstacles to strike the spell’s target.

• There are two general types of astral imprints: those of inanimate objects, and those of living beings and magical items.

• Inanimate astral imprints possess form but little substance.

• Because the astral imprints of inanimate physical objects are insubstantial, astral beings (including Namegivers in astral space) can pass through them.

• The sensation of passing through the astral imprint of what the character recognizes as solid matter is disconcerting and confusing. Most Namegivers in astral space prefer to walk around imprints of obstacles rather than through them.

Dougansf:
Total Cover prevents attacks against PD and MD. Despite the fact that you may hear them just around the corner, and know where they are, the spell still can't bend around the corner (See Bank Shot as the way around this for Archers, or Mystic Shock for Wizards).

• (They) avoid physical obstacles to strike the target
