Say I have a level 15 caster who is using the words of power magic rules. If i use the target word "selected" and boost it while using an energy damage spell can I hit the same target 15 times like some kind of magic minigun or do I need 15 different targets? It seems odd but i guess this is how one creates a scorching ray type effect?
It would certainly give more value to taking improved critical ray.

Different targets required. Multi-hit spells like Scorching Ray and Magic Missile are written specifically to allow for targeting the same target with each hit. This text is not present in the Selected target word.

You blast your enemies with fiery rays. You may fire one ray, plus one additional ray for every four levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of three rays at 11th level). Each ray requires a ranged touch attack to hit and deals 4d6 points of fire damage.
The rays may be fired at the same or different targets, but all bolts must be aimed at targets within 30 feet of each other and fired simultaneously.
