I remember you can do that with Mana Damper, just not sure if doing it with Affects Others things would be wading too far into Affliction territory. Since these ONLY affect wiling targets, probably not.

To avoid the problem of tricking someone into willing accepting your gift of DR with "costs 10 HP" and using it to kill them, I think the costs or temporary disadvantages from using an ability should only apply to the main user. Even though there are abilities like Healing where you can make them pay the FP instead of you.
