-'''Melf's Arrow''' is a spell that conjures a magical projectile that targets a chosen enemy, causing 4-13 [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] (3d4+1).  To strike a target, the caster must expend 1 [[Action Points|action point]] (AP) to aim it, done by rolling a d20 [[Roll to Hit|to hit]], needing to achieve [[Armour Class|armour class]] 10 to hit, regardless of the target's protection or nature.  A bonus of +1 to hit is granted.
+'''Melf's Arrow''' is a spell that conjures a magical projectile, which strikes a chosen enemy for 4-13 [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] (3d4+1). To launch the arrow, the caster must expend 1 [[Action Points|action point]] (AP) to aim and roll a d20 [[Roll to Hit|to hit]]. The spell always requires a roll of 10 or higher to hit, regardless of the target's [[Armour Class|armour class]] or defences. The caster gains a +1 bonus to hit when using this spell.

-If the target is missed, the arrow flies past and remains in play, circling around to attempt another strike in the next round, at any target wished.  This need not be the same target as previous attempts.  So long as the caster expends AP, these attempts may continue indefinitely until a target is hit.  In the interim, Melf's arrow may be [[Dispel Magic (spell)|magically dispelled]], or an opponent may run to a place where the arrow cannot reach.  If no target is in sight in any given round, the arrow dissipates harmlessly.
+At 7th level, the caster gains a second arrow, which can be fired at the same time as the first. If the caster maintains [[Spellcasting|concentration]], the arrows may be fired one at a time rather than simultaneously.  A third arrow is gained at 11th and a fourth at 15th level. No additional arrows are gained beyond this.
-An additional arrow is gained by the caster at 7th level, so that both may be "shot" at the same time.  If the caster maintains [[Spellcasting|concentration]], the arrows can be fired one at a time.  A third arrow is gained at 11th level and a fourth at 15th.  No further arrows are gained beyond these.
