0002697: Targeting algorithm is not selecting the path that is clear

Notes

This bug is most annoying with 3x3 targeted spells - you often have to aim to the side of the monster you really want to target (and should be able to), hitting some of his companions that are unscathed now. Also, sometime you get the path you actually want, but can't cast it as the ending point is "out of range" - you should be able to fire it anyway. Current behavior is only acceptable for piercing rays (that continue on after hitting first target), and even that can be improved by allowing to explicitly switching the arc to more favorable one.
