On the other hand, if your hero *can* do it even with the multiple target penalties, it would be a nice mythic feat.

Of course, "Mile Javelin Throw " doesn't include anything about landing when you reach the end of the mile, so you might want to consider only throwing it on the enemy troops, not your own. And you probably actually have to get in there and put your hands on one of them to 'throw' him (with appropriate large Improv. penalties if you don't). (and as it is magic directed at living beings, they get more than the world's 14 resistance - they'd get their best magical resistance, or that of their Wyter).

But it is a nice idea, and a neat trick if you can pull it off. Just don't make it too easy or everyone would do it.
