Group Buff Level Restrictions

[Hannibal]

Is it SUPPOSED to be that we can avoid the level req's for casting group buffs using target nearest PC? This is the F7 key for me.

If I try to cast Regrowth of the Grove on a low-level toon, it says "Spell is too powerful for it's intended target".

If I target myself, then cast RotG and mid-cast hit F7 and target the low level player, the spell lands on them and their entire group. This works for ALL GROUP BUFFS, but does NOT work on single-target buffs.

If this is how it's SUPPOSED TO WORK, why can't we just drop the level restriction altogether? Is this a classic thing I'm unaware of, or maybe a bug, maybe an exploit? Not sure where this lands. I assume one of you village elders knows the way.

Thanks!
