Magic Darts
Spell, Low Magic, level 1
The caster sends a few lesser nature spirits flying out of his body to strike a foe for a point of damage each; a Protection from Spirits spell stops them.
From the book
At the caster's command, 1-4 lesser nature spirits burst out of his body and fly at an enemy up to 100 ft. away. Each spirit that answers the call strikes for 1 point of damage. With every level of ability he can command another 1-4 spirits, so the attack grows steadily stronger. A target sheltered by Protection from Spirits takes no damage at all.

A scene
The goblin sentry on the stilt-walk over the Ngani Swamp hears nothing until the shaman Rakai opens his mouth and a swarm of tiny lights pours out of him like sparks from a green fire. There are nine of them, then a tenth, darting across the black water faster than dragonflies. Each one stings the goblin once and vanishes. The sentry drops his spear, slaps at his arms and face, and bolts shrieking into the reeds with blood beaded on his skin. Rakai sighs. He had hoped for more spirits tonight.
