Seeking (Wizard Spell)

The seeking spell takes the normal laws of momentum and gravity, and then twists them slightly in a way that is favorable to the caster of the spell.
The caster can ensorcel a number of normal, nonenchanted missiles no larger than a javelin, equal to one-third his level, to a maximum of five missiles. When they have been enchanted, the caster may either use them or distribute them to his or her companions.
When shot or hurled at a target, the missiles unerringly seek the target. They will hit nothing else but that target. The missiles can go around objects of corners if the target was visible when the spell was cast, but the missiles cannot pass through solid obstructions. For example, if the target closes a door, the missiles slam into the door and cannot be removed until the spell wears off.
The normal range can be extended to the distance of the target creature as long as the. opponent uses only ordinary methods of escape. If the target plane shifts, teleports, blinks, or uses some other means of instantaneous transport, the missile can no longer home in on its target. It falls to the ground, useless.
This spell is not an automatic guarantee of success. Rather, it ensures that archers and slingers, when firing into melee, will not accidentally hit those who are on their side. This spell is especially useful for battles or shots in narrow corridors. If the person firing the arrow or bullet can see the target, he can fire for normal damage without fear of damaging comrades.
Notes: Granted by elven deities.
Notes: Common for the elves of Evermeet in the Forgotten Realms setting, uncommon for other elves. This spell is guarded jealously.
