Quick question about Homing

Homing doesn't boost your damage. You throw it at any monster. It does whatever damage it says on the description for Homing. From then on, all your attacks will target that monster, if possible. Meaning, if the monster isn't in range, your shots won't go all hacker-style into it, they'll still behave as normal. But if the monster is in range, your shots will pass through anything else in the way to hit it.
