  Probably not worth the effort - as long as there are not bad side effects (eg, 
crash, gobs of exp, whatever), we should generally let players do whatever they

do (build a bridge out of styrofoam).  Yet nothing is preventing you from doing 
it - I see the same thing as crossfire.

healing spells are now - players would just have to get to casting in direction 
0 or whatever.

  Mass confusion is a cone spell.
