Making 'Smashing Wave' party-friendly

[subtledoctor]

This spell from IWD has a long casting time and a wide tunnel-shaped AoE and with everyone moving during combat it is easy to either miss your enemies or hit your party members. I want to make it a party-friendly effect, which is not too crazy given its power and spell level.  But, I don't know how.  I don't see anything in its projectile that I can change.  What if I just set all its effects to 5 (everyone except party) instead of 2 (pre-set target)? Will that still be limited to people who are hit by the projectile?

Alter the first effect (op318) from "Source(43)" to "Allies(49)", and reduce it's power to 0.

Using target 5 (everyone but party) ignores the projectile, effecting every creature on the map (except party).

So one should use a different projectile to use the effect to then use this target ?

You numberistically reduce, but you actually increase the actual power to more than just 10... and if we actually count things, one can't ever get to the number 0 without going upwards in the scale, so I would insist that you don't actually decrease, but increase.

Thanks!

Making this spell affect only foes seems wise.
