This small dart is decorated with designs like windy spirals that span the length of its shaft.
When you whisper the word “seek” and hurl this dart, it seeks out a target of your choice
direction to fly around corners.
When the dart reaches its target, the target must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 piercing damage and 3d4 lightning damage. The dart’s magic is then spent, and it becomes an ordinary dart.
