[QUOTE="robotsinmyhead, post: 4519252, member: 77253"] I wouldn't imagine that the weapon follows the target. It specifically says, "You can move the weapon up to 10 squares... as a move action" So think about it as it is: a floating weapon that you control fully. Errata also changed the text a bit to this: "You can move the weapon up to 10 squares, [B]within range[/B], to another enemy’s square as a move action." As for the combat advantage question, it seems as though the weapon grants combat advantage to the target as long as it is targetted by the weapon, which could reasonably be inferred as "till the beginning of your next turn" or "end" - That might matter at some point, and it's a little ambiguous. When I use Spiritual Weapon, I often sustain minor just to keep the power active, but don't want to move the weapon (in the case that the target has moved) so I can position myself. I think it's a great power, but currently, conjurations on the whole are a bit "rules lite" right now, and you should come to an agreement with your DM on some of the specifics. [/QUOTE]
