I'm a little confused as to how Comet Strike's line should work. It plays with the idea that there are other creatures between you and the target. Are we supposed to assume we can fire/throw weapons up and over other creatures, let alone, the size of the line isn't listed.
I feel like it'd be better if it wasn't a free action, but a single action with the requirement of having hit with a ranged strike so you could move and reposition before triggering this line of energy.
Anyone else see what I mean?

By and large when trying to hit an enemy, any enemy/enemies between you and the target give a +1 to the target's AC. It's only a single +1 regardless of enemy numbers or their size, but still a thing.
It feels like Comet Strike is trying to incentivize and reward aiming for difficult targets. But it kind of falls short because the Magus' Striking Spell ability seems (on paper) so lackluster.

That was a rule I had not seen before, thank you !
I'm still undecided on Striking Spell, I love that it's a metamagic and leaves room for spells to work in a wide variety (compared to previous iterations where it was only touch spells and the like) but I'll be trying out a Shooting Star magus soon enough.
