[.86][Issue] Spell Target Types Limit Tactics

Using "Enemy Unit" as the target type in many spells prevents interesting interactions during combat. The worst thing is when an AoE spell cannot be cast because friendly units are in the way. Mantle of Fire should damage friendly units that are attacking me due to being Clumsy or Dominated. 

The simple solution, which I just finished doing myself, is using the "Any" option instead to increase the interactions of magics in combat. Might want to do this more often, unless Enemy Unit is being used for a specific reason, like when casting Dominate.

Just found "EnemyUnitIgnoreFriendly" on Shockwave. D- for not using this tag on all AoE spells.  :typo:

In modding WoM spells, I often just left this tag (SpellTargetType) out in AoE spells and it worked just fine.  Not sure if it applies to FE as well.

My mod will use the ignore friendly units option. It will be the least annoying way of casting, since it costs so much to use AoE in the first place.
