How long should Seeking Sword last?

When I cast seeking sword using a level 1 Priest of Helm in BG1, the sword appears to stay in my hand for about a minute or two (I haven't actually timed it), but when I cast it using a level 1 priest in IWD, the sword is in and out of my hand in just a few seconds. Is one of these games bugged, or was the time length for the sword changed between the two games?

    It was corrected to be 1 round/level. That is also now the case for Storm Shield as well. Both used to have an initial duration of 1 turn In BGEE and BG2EE (consistent between levels 1-10) and from levels 11 to 20 they gained 1 round/level in extra duration.
