Spell Balance Suggestions

[Detective100]

Here's my quick thought. If minefield is to be given a hard nerf, it should be changed to:
a) spawn around the user rather than only up above the user in a line.
b) Have it so that friendly NPCs/PCs won't make the explosive mines disappear upon touching it. This isn't even a buff, just a bug fix.

Most people I've seen that comment their frustration about minefield, are the ones who keep walking into the range of the spawning line of explosive mines and get tossed all the way back.
Having it more spread out would diminish the potentially long push on initial hit, while letting it be used by the caster without having clear blind spots once the spell gets nerfed.
