Bugs

• Creatures affected by Sanctuary can still be targeted with  Blight,  Chain Lightning, and  Thorn Whip, due to these spells lacking the IsHarmful spell flag. For the same reason, a large number of NPC actions (for example,  Sharp Rock) can target creatures that are affected by Sanctuary.
• Neutral NPCs (yellow outlined) with Sanctuary can be targeted with attacks. This will still make them hostile, after which they are protected.
