TARGETS "AREA OF EFFECT"

In order to initiate combat, most skills and spells require you to supply a
target (eg, Who do you want to kick?).  Once you or your group are fighting
(See AUTOJOIN) most spells and skills will automatically target the mob you
are fighting.  If you are supplying a target once the fighting has started,
there is a chance that another mob having the same name may enter the room,
causing you to start a second fight that you may not want to be tanking.

Most skills and spells list the Area of Effect. This can be:
  Self                       -This can only be used on yourself
  1 Target - Touch           -You have one target and be able to touch them
  1 Target - can be ranged   -You have one target and either of you (or both)
                              can be ranged
  Group                      -At high enough level you can cast it on your group
  Room                       -No specific target, hits all opponents in the 
                              room (also called area effect)
  1 item                     -Can only be used on items
  1 corpse                   -Can only be used on something dead (with a body)
