One of my players has selected this spell for their character, and is insisting that it only targets enemies. Spcifically, this is because of the line "You whisper baleful secrets that transcend language and carry magically to the ears of your foes."

To me, this line sounds more like flavor text. Usually the flavor text isn't a big deal because spells usually have a line clarifying targets in "mechanic speak" afterwards, but that doesn't happen here.

It also doesn't help that the pre-remaster version (Enervation) specifies it targets all *living* creatures in the area of effect, though that's redundant due to the spell dealing void damage.

Can anyone weigh in on whether the new version of the spell should only target enemies? And should clarifying language be added to the errata list?
