dispel magic on a PC causes the PC to get confusing message: "Sorry, player killing is not permitted." #196

an IMM casting dispel magic on a PC (outside of safe rooms...). On the PC you see:

You feel less protected.
TheMoog utters the words, 'dispel magic'.
You slowly float to the ground.
You feel weaker.
Sorry, player killing is not permitted.

This message gets sent to the 'victim' because casting dispel magic is classed as an offensive spell, so it automatically triggers multi_hit from the victim. And that's guarded by many things including the check on player killing. I think I can fix it by checking much earlier that the original target is an NPC, and if not, whether they two chars are duelling.
