I think some spells are designed to hurt even friendly NPCs, yeah. That does raise some problems in MP though; it's far too easy for someone to completely ruin a world by entering a settlement and killing every NPC in there (be it by spells or forwarding enough turns to get a wandering NPC in). While I understand the dangers existing in SP games, I'm not sure if they need to exist in MP games, given that some people go to extraordinary lengths to ruin it for others.

I can't seem to remember if it is supposed to be like that or not either, but I'll mark it as if it's a bug.

Friendly fire was an intended feature of creeping death when it was added, and I don't think that intention changed, but might be good for Chris to see this anyway in case he's changed his mind.

How about when in the presence of a friendly (not neutral) illari Stone then their aura protects NPCs etc from negative magic effects (much like stopping poison/burn effects) - that would stop the griefing dead in a lore-friendly manor :)
