Some more questions
 

Any way I can turn off spells from hurting yourself? Testing a wizard and AOEs are hurting the player of the spell. Is this by intention?

If they're targetted AoE's, then you will be hurt by being too close. This is the way it is in Live, ergo it is intended. You must change the source code yourself if you want to alter this behavior.

aah, ok, makes sense, thanks for the info.
