Is it just me, or does anyone else see this as a bit of a waste of a spell slot? Not much of a difference between this and 116, which we also have access to...I guess if you don't wanna learn spirit spells it's a decent 116 substitution? But what do we really need 116 or 1217 for?

Prolly for the same reason my sorcerer will have 4 different travel "spells" when he finally gets around to learning 130 (740, 130, Symbol of Return, and Symbol of Seeking)...

Does Symbol of Sight allow us to watch a target now like it says in the spell description for 1217, which I assume is similar to the way the empath spell Cry for Help works on the target's end? I haven't used it since the symbols were updated.

Ah, ok... I generally use 116 since I rarely know if the person I'm looking for is in Voln or not. Still good to know though.
