I have what is probably a simple question regarding powers with secondary targets e.g Lightning Bolt.
Let's assume that the primary target is hit.
Does the PC have to use the secondary target feature of the power?
Example: Wizard uses Lightning Bolt against primary target. Hits. But there aren't any other enemies present.
[Don't get into the fact the PC should probably not have used the power. The PC just did].
There are however allies present and the power says 'target creatures' not 'target enemies'.
Does the Wizard have to attack his allies?
Common sense would say no ... but what do the rules say.
The only ruling I can find is that Powers don't have to be maximised, so the Wizard can make the close burst a 1x1 instead of a 3x3.
So what do you say?
