        Consider that spells cannot generally go astray - they either hit or accomplish nothing at all. I think its basically a line of sight type thing - the spell instantly crosses the line of sight towards the being you are looking at (if line of sight is interrupted momentarily, you delay the spell momentarily, if its interrupted for a significant period of time, the spell dissipates and fails).
