Arrow of Seeking (Air 3, Ench 3) - From the flavour text this spell should be called Arrow of Slaying (heads straight for the heart if it hits) As far as I can tell if successful this spell kills a random leader in the province selected. The manual says -8 on armour penetration, which sounds good, so I guess good armour protects you. In the SP game I am playing I have killed a pretender SC, and killed several leaders on the top ten list. Just one of the things you need to protect against in an MP game.

If it's killing SC pretenders, it sounds to me like the spell has a bug - or at least, a serious balance problem. In Dom2, it would usually kill a human-sized mage (ie, HPs in the 10-12 range), but even they sometimes escaped with a chest wound. If it's killing SCs, it doing a lot more than single arrow damage.
