Question on Shock Shield spell

[hcobb]

The subject of a Thrown spell is almost always the target of the spell. There are rare exceptions like say Megahex Avert where a location is targeted and the figures at the moment of the spell casting around that location are subject to the spell wherever they go so long as the spell is maintained.

So a wizard can be hurt by the shock shield they cast on their buddy, but that buddy will be unharmed as they are the target and subject of the spell.
