Now, isn't this going to go through each and every char/npc in room except
the caster? I need it to just hit _one_ character/npc, at random, and
then stop. Like two mages fighting, one has previously cast "reflect
electricity", and the other casts "call lightning". It's going to bounce
off the first mage's shield and possibly hit something else in the room,
but not nesseccarily. Will this work? Looks like I need to add some
checks for ch=vict...
Not sure,
