The spell-arrow rules that I recall were in DF3: The Next Level.

That would be Blur. I'm intentionally staying away from Light and Illusion spells due to overlap with the last gurps wizard I played who also had a lot of outdoor skills and specialized in Illusion/Invisibility - a Hybrid Thief Wizard with outdoor stuff. However, he does have a very high Camouflage skill due to IQ 16 and Forest Guardian - 16 now, 19 when he's done, plus an outdoor version of Dungeon Camouflage. Sort of a low-tech gillie suit.

Ooh, Spell-Archery is just a spell - that does sound intriguing.
