This spell is of short time duration because it is cast in tangent with any other spell that the wizard has memorised. The target is cast first; as stated above, the spell takes 18 seconds to cast. During this time, the wizard must take the material component of the spell (an ordinary arrow) and point it at one or more persons or items. The number of persons or items that may be pointed to is limited to twice the caster's Dexterity (this would allow a normal person to point at 4 persons or items every 3 seconds). For each item pointed to, the caster takes 1 point of damage. At the end of these 18 seconds, the arrow disappears and each person or item pointed to begins to glow as if enchanted with faerie fire. At this point, anti-magic shells, magic resistance, etc. are checked (with magic resistance at half normal). Anyone who is glowing at this point is left very vulnerable.
Now, the wizard casts any spell that can be cast on or cast at someone or something else (in the same round). Upon completing the spell, everyone or everything which is glowing receives the effect of the spell. The caster also takes the level of the second spell in points of damage. The targets get to make their saving throws (if allowed) at this point. If the second spell was a touch spell, the targets may add their Dexterity bonus to their saving throw (if no saving throw was granted on that touch spell, the targets get one versus death magic with a successful saving throw indicating only half of the spell effects worked). Range 0 spells are not able to be cast in conjunction with target.
The advantages of this spell are obvious. For example, in the first round of an attack where the party is hopelessly overwhelmed, a wizard may be able to cast target and give his entire party improved invisibility, thus allowing escape or a shift in the balance of the fight. A second example: there are two blue dragons bearing down on the party. They are flying close enough that one fireball could encompass both, but the caster does not believe one fireball will do it. So he targets them both and each is crisped by 2 fireballs (1 centred on each).
