Allows the caster to teleport fired or thrown missiles directly to their targets for a short duration, spending an additional small amount of magic for each missile. Teleported projectiles have their accuracy greatly increased.

• Prior to 0.31, Portal Projectile was a player-castable level 3 Translocations/Hexes spell which gave the player the PProj status. While the status was active, all attacks made with throwing or ranged weapons would be smite-targeted. Hexslingers started with this spell. It was replaced by Dimensional Bullseye.
• Prior to 0.27, Portal Projectile's duration could be ended prematurely.
• Prior to 0.20, Portal Projectile was pure Translocations.
• Prior to 0.14, the spell wasn't duration-based, instead launching one projectile per cast.
• Prior to 0.5.1, the spell range wasn't full LOS.
