It seems silly that this spell costs two slots and doesn't just autobuff all your melee weapons. What is the reasoning behind the somewhat bizzare wield syntax of this spell?
See the Wind buffs all ranged weapons at once, and only costs one slot to cast.

IIRC, the explanation was that buffing all melee weapons at once was not allowed in the 3.0 rules on the grounds it would buff "too many skills" with a single spell. Dragon Form, Righteous Wrath and Mantle of Flame and also got similar treatment for the same reason. It does seem like an odd distinction to make in the case of OATH though; I can't think of a case where you could actually make use of more than two weapon skills at once, given that it doesn't buff brawling.

Offhand weapons.
I'm assuming loaded weapons don't follow this particular rule since you can't wield two bows at once.
Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

There's a lot less skills to buff with See the Wind - there's technical reasons we're a little leery of straight up running a buff on a giant list of skills at all times.
Oath of the Firstborn was explicitly written to accommodate dual wielding (And it was actually a major pain to set it up this way, I nearly did just throw my hands in the air and buff all melee skills).

Is there a reason why the Ranger invisibility spell allows literally no action once cast? I'm trying to find any usefulness for this spell and can't come up with anything.

You are at melee with 4 <insert at level or higher level critter>> and you are stunned...after it lifts you snap cast em and voila, if you don't move you might just survive...well once I died from blood loss while standing still. ::blushes furiously::

Doesn't it drop when you retreat or move though? Seems like a total waste of a spell.
Also I'm finding web to be very underwhelming in 3.0. Rangers have potential but they definitely need some love

It still seems extremely niche.

<<You can travel, talk, drag people, forage for stuff, pick things up or drop things, take/stow things in containers (swap weapons), advance/retreat, search..all without losing your invisibility (if you aren't in town).>>
Um I couldn't forage for stuff in baby gryphons (Rossman's) while having em cast. Since I can hide from them and stay hidden, I don't think my stealth skill is the problem. So if I'm supposed to be foraging while em ed, then something is wrong.
