Without any official help, I don't know how to play it.I don't think cones and lines should be suitable for this ability, since they are "originated at the caster" rather than "centered at the caster", so how would for example a line be "centered when the arrow lands"? Should it be so that the arrow is in the centre of the line? Both kinds of areas are very directional and to adjudicate them is not obvious as it would be for a burst or emanation or cylinder effect.On the other hand, touch spells would have made very good sense to be usable with Imbue Arrow, but the description clearly rule them out (they are not area spells). Probably they ruled them out on purpose being "scared" that it would lead to some cheesy tactics? Don't know, but given the high pre-requisites to Arcane Archers (which basically limits a lot your spellcaster's levels, that is how many spells you can apply to this feature), I think Imbue Arrow is worth very very little. You can probably find a few spells which are indeed easily exploitable and you'll often imbue them whenever you can, but it's definitely not the reason why to take this PrCl at the moment.</blockquote>
