That doesn't have to mean it moves straight toward your current location. In fact, the usual meaning of "follow" would suggest the disk moves along the same path you took. If you go around a corner, the disk doesn't try to cut the corner; it moves to the corner and then around it, just as you did.However, the final sentence of the spell is a potential issue: "If you move more than 100 feet from the disk (typically because it can't move around an obstacle to follow you), the spell ends." There are two ways to read the parenthetical here:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The disk can't move around an obstacle, and this is the typical cause of the spell ending.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The typical cause of the spell ending is when the disk encounters an obstacle that it can't move around.</li> </ul>I would go with the second interpretation, both because it makes more sense in the context of the previous paragraph, and because it resolves the problem you put forward. When the disk encounters an obstacle, it will try to move around it; if it can't move around it, then it stays where it is, and vanishes once you get too far away.</blockquote>
