Minor Beacon

[Lucius]

I have noticed that there are some other effects that players can do, such as elemental novas and other some such things that effect an entire room. So when I first cast the minor beacon in a group of people, you can imagine my surprise when everybody in the area (or at least my group) was stunned. I really do like the spell and I would even consider it essential in some regards, so I really hate to inconvenience those I am with by using it.

Is this intended, or simply an oversight? I don't want to devalue anyone's experience by pseudo-attacking them. (Even if I do understand that a sudden surge of light might be enough to make someone flinch and have had some amusing RP moments come as a result.) It would be nice if it didn't effect those in your group, is all.
