When Oak casts Penitence, I've noticed that the animation heads for the location of the target when I invoked the spell, even if they've moved around since then. e.g., I was casting it at Sedna; when I clicked on her she was more-or-less due left of me, but by the time Oak was in range and done casting, she had moved around me and was "up" from me on the screen, but the spell effect shot off to the left. This doesn't seem to affect the behavior of the spell or its range, it's just a funny visual quirk.
