Eyebite - How many foes?

Eyebite

Eyebite seems like a very potent necromancy spell. It reads

Am I right in reading this as the caster is able to target ONE DIFFERENT foe (as a swift action every round after the first)? So a 10th level caster could sicken/panic/comatose ten opponents?

Does the target need to be able to see him or her to feel the effects of Eyebite?

Since it's just a swift action, can I assume the caster can be casting and doing other things besides laying Eyebite on someone?

I would agree that the intent is clearly "different creature each round if you wish". And you can presumably take other actions in the later rounds, just not swift actions.

It doesn't say anything about them seeing you, so I assume it's not required.

It's sixth level spell. If would be terribly crappy spell if it could only affect single target per casting.

Yes, like Flesh to Stone, Geas/Quest, Disintegrate, Enemy Hammer, and Unwilling Shield. ..All terribly crappy.

Those give more severe conditions than eyebite does, and disintegrate is fairly crappy compared to other spells by virtue of being a blast spell.

Can I make repeated attempts to sicken a single foe? The spell does not say no...

[Drejk]

I see no reason why not.
