So, if I wanted to make a character who could blow up his own party, will 4E work?

Let me be more specific. Can you shape the area affect spells around your party members?

You can, but only with an Epic level feat (Spell Accuracy). Otherwise you affect all targets in the area that aren't shielded from the blast in some way.

Mind you, there are a few spells with the area of "wall", which is shapeable.

Cheers!

Excellent!
