Seeking arrow is like all assassination spells a very good situationnal spell.

Your opponent has a 120 units army lead by only 3 commanders threatening to renforce his main army ? You spam 5 or 6 seeking arrows and all the leaders are dead, the army don't move (and perhaps won't move next turn, if he had no leader moving to the province).

As well killing a key mage can change the result of a big battle, and the spell is particularly good to achieve isolated mages after a retreat (or for surprise attacks on researchers when dome spells aren't available).
Agreed. In most MP cases seeking arrow won't be used too often, but once in awhile a barrage of them in a sensitive province is very much worth the investment.

I've used them to really disrupt large armies that rely on communions. 3A to probably/possibly kill a support mage is a pretty good trade - especially if it makes that army vulnerable.
