[QUOTE="Starglim, post: 1626081, member: 17011"] edit: OK, considering [I]maze[/I] , it works exactly the opposite way to what I thought earlier. [I]Maze[/I] is an extradimensional space, but your destination is outside that space. So you do all your pathfinding in the same plane where you cast the spell, even though your destination can be on another plane. In order for [I]find the path[/I] to help with [I]shadow walk[/I] (if in fact it does help) you would have to cast it on the Plane of Shadow. There is nothing in [I]shadow walk[/I] that gives you greater benefit if you pick the right route. You travel at the same rate in the direction that you want to go regardless. The random deflection of your endpoint is entirely outside your control, so [I]find the path[/I] doesn't help (it finds the shortest and most direct route that you could find, but doesn't let you do what [I]shadow walk[/I] states to be impossible). If the subject of [I]find the path[/I] is not the caster of [I]shadow walk[/I] and wanders off, there is no chance for him to find the caster's exit from the Plane of Shadow on his own. [I]Find the path[/I] would lead him towards the closest other exit from the Plane of Shadow to the Prime Material, since that is the best path towards his destination. [/QUOTE]
