I am scripting a spell that performs ranged touch attacks to a set number of opponents much like how chain lightning targets a number of opponents. There is only one problem, when it fires it is attacking the caster and not the opponents. Can someone take a look and offer some advise?

I got it working. Thank you everyone for your assistance.
