Concerning the Spell "Acid Dart", which is listed as a 1st level spell in the Pathfinder Beta rules under Conjuration School (page 195) and as a 1st level spell under Earth Domain (page 178):
The spell is not fully listed in the Spells section of the rules. There is only a brief description in the locations above, which says "you can unleash an acid dart targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The acid dart deals 1d6 points of acid damage +1 for every two caster levels you possess." There is no information provided as to duration, saving throw, or spell resistance.
My question is this: Is Acid Dart a smaller version of Acid Arrow? Acid Arrow deals 2d4 damage. Significantly, Acid Arrow deals another 2D4 damage for an additional round per three caster levels. If the spells are equivalent in action, but not in power, would not an Acid Dart also deal additional 1d6 damage in subsequent rounds per three caster levels?
